The seeds are planted here But they won’t grow We won’t have to say goodbye If we all go Maybe things will be better in Chicago To leave all we’ve ever known For a place we’ve never seen Maybe things will be better in Chicago Well It’s braver to stay Even braver to go Wherever she goes I go Maybe things will be better in Chicago
What we need the lord will give us All we want we carry with us You know where I can be found Where the rainbow hits the ground I’m not alone I’m not afraid This bird has flown from his cage There’s so much magic we have known On this sapphire we call home With my coat and my hat I say goodbye to all that Maybe things will be better in Chicago Maybe things will be better in Chicago
