Crosby, Stills and Nash – Chicago – a song of hope and optimism – a rallying call!

We can change the world !!! We can make a better world!!

If ever protest was necessary it is under the lies, hate and division of the Trump tyranny. He is inflaming Americans towards a civil war. His repudiation of the media and blatant telling of lies is a dangerous game. He is dismantling the fabric of democracy.

Back in the heady days of the 1960s when there was division and hostility between the younger generation and the older generation centred around the Vietnam War, Crosby Stills and Nash spoke up against the war and called for peaceful protest.

Young people took to the streets to protest the tyranny of that time.

This is Chicago by CS&N. They believed that we could change the world and so do I. When things are wrong it takes peaceful protest in millions to put it right!

 

Crosby Stills Nash & Young( Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) )

 

Chicago
So your brother’s bound and gagged
And they’ve chained him to a chair.
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Just to singIn a land that’s known as freedom, how can such a thing be fair
Won’t you please come to Chicago
For the help that we can bring

We can change the world
Rearrange the world
It’s dying to get better

Politicians sit yourselves down
There’s nothing for you here
Won’t you please come to Chicago
For a ride

Don’t ask Jack to help you
‘Cause he’ll turn the other ear.
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Or else join the other side.

We can change…yes we can change…the world
Rearrange…rearrange the world

It’s dying…if you believe in justice
It’s dying…and if you believe in freedom
It’s dying…let a man live his own life
It’s dying…rules and regulations who needs them
Open up the door

Somehow people must be free
I hope the day comes soon
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Show your face

From the bottom of the ocean
To the mountains of the moon
Won’t you please come to Chicago
No one else can take your place

We can change…yes we can change…the world
Rearrange…rearrange the world
It’s dying…if you believe in justice
It’s dying…and if you believe in freedom
It’s dying…let a man live his own life
It’s dying…rules and regulations who needs them
Open up the door
