The song was also the very first musical composition from bassist Peter Cetera, who was by this time contributing more than on the debut album released the year before. The song deals with how life is short, and that if you look around you can see that people need to embrace each other with love all the time, and not just when the country is at an all-time low (hence the Vietnam War). The title line is taken from a TV reporter's comment during the broadcast of the 1969 Moon landing[2]—widely seen as a historically positive event in stark contrast to the social upheaval of the time.
A live performance of the song can be found on their 1971 Chicago at Carnegie Hall album.
