Chicago Songtext
von Mavis Staples

Oh, the seeds are planted here
But they won′t grow
We won't have to say goodbye
If we all go to Chicago
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 (Chicago)
Maybe things will be better in Chicago (Chicago)

Well it's brave for us to stay
Even braver to go away
Wherever they go, I go, Chicago (Chicago)
Maybe things will be better in Chicago (Chicago)
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
I'm not alone, I′m not afraid
'Cause this bird, little bird
This bird left its cage

There′s so much magic (so much magic) we have known (we have known)
On this sapphire (on this sapphire) we call home (we call home)
With my coat and my hat
I say goodbye to all of that

Maybe things will be better
Things will be better
Things will be better in Chicago (Chicago)
Maybe things will be better, Chicago (Chicago)
