Just like you did back in the days
When you would play piano
Each morning walk a mile
Speak of what was going down
With honesty and style
[Verse 3: Robert Lamm]
America's calling, Harry Truman
Harry, you know what to do

And losing lots of ground
Oh, Harry, is there something we can do to save the land we love?
Oh, woah, woah, woah
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4: All]
America's calling, Harry Truman
Harry, you know what to do
The world is turning round
And losing lots of ground
So, Harry, is there something we can do to save the land we love?
Oh!
Harry, is there something we can do to save the land we love?
Harry!
Harry, is there something we can do to save the land we love?
