The Call

[Verse 1]
The fire is a warning
The fire is a home
The fire is destructive
But they are not alone

For her cries are ever heeded
In a place made long ago
The city that we all know as Chicago

[Chorus]
Because the light that shines to guide us can blind us
Because the warmth that brings us safety can burn our bridges down
Because the smoke that seeks to warn us can choke us
And 'cause destruction can bring renewal to all of us

We heed the call

[Verse 2]
So when the spark ignites and the the sirens wail
Just take a breath, don’t fight, together we can’t fail
The city’s chosen you to support the endless cause
Welcome to Chicago
Now you’re one of us

[Chorus]
Because the light that shines to guide us can blind us
Because the warmth that brings us safety can burn our bridges down
Because the smoke that seeks to warn us can choke us
And 'cause destruction can bring renewal to all of us

We heed the call

[Outro]
I am from Chicago
You are from Chicago
We are from Chicago
