We are featuring some of The Most Important Songs of the Rock Era*. The Era has included much, great songs to listen to, to dance to, and songs that make us think. These are the songs I've searched out, going over scores of charts and lists to select the songs that really matter. Some are positive, some point out the negative things in our world, but all helped changed the world. This is an uplifting message from Chicago, about a day when everyone is happy and getting along.
"Saturday in the Park"
by Chicago
Written by Robert Lamm
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
(Italian lyric)
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday
Saturday in the park
You'd think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
You'd think it was the Fourth of July
People talking, really smiling
A man playing guitar
Singing for us all
Will you help him change the world
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For today
Slow motion riders fly the colours of the day
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way
listen children all is not lost
all is not lost
Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
People reaching, people touching
A real celebration
Waiting for us all
If we want it, really want it
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For the day
