Rider - on the new horizon - at just the break of day,
The prairie sun is risin' high to light their way,
America unfolds before their eyes,
The pioneers - the new frontiers of paradise.
And it's the nature of the brave,
To rise above it's the Spirit of Chicago,
And now the child has come of age,
We'll stand as one - the best will come tomorrow,
Chicago.
People from many different places,
search to find their dreams,
The city's heart embraces everyone it sees,
We feel the fire that burned so long ago,
Together we will carry on with heart and soul.
And it's the nature of the brave,
To rise above it's the Spirit of Chicago,
And now we turn another page,
We'll shine a light for all the world to follow,
Chicago.
In a world that keeps changing,
We can light up the land,
If we keep on believin' that we can,
So take a stand,
And it's the nature of the brave,
To rise above it's the Spirit of Chicago,
And now we turn another page,
We'll shine a light for all the world to follow,
Chicago.
