VERSE 1
From the heart of the Windy City
Where dreams take flight
We're more than circumstances
Shining so bright we are the light
Sidewalks echoing with promises
Hopes and dreams
Every step has got a story life beyond what it seems
Life is learned in the classroom
Past what we write and read
It’s all about the life we live and hungry mouths that we feed
From the South Side to the West Side, our spirits never dim
Every challenge that we face we’ll find the strength from within
We're the voices of tomorrow, painting skies with our dreams
In a city that has seen it all, we’ll change what it means
Through the chaos and noise, yo, our visions come alive
Together we stand and thrive
CHORUS
From where we came
To where we're going
In the heart of Chicago
Our dreams are flowing
Empowered to hope
And to believe
That if we reach
We can achieve
With each new day we realize
That life can change before our eyes
From where we came, to where we're going
In the heart of Chicago
A place where we can set our dreams in motion
VERSE 2
Trips that taught us more than destinations ever could
Finding love and diversity, in doing what we should
From college fairs to the projects we create
It’s a state of mind and trait of mine to always redefine
High school memories will bond us like glue
Learning to empathize, to see another view
Ice skating downtown, laughter loud in the air
These are the moments to remember
And to show that we care
We're the voices of tomorrow, painting skies with our dreams
In a city that has seen it all, we’ll change what it means
Through the chaos and noise, yo, our visions come alive
Together we stand and thrive
CHORUS
From where we came
To where we're going
In the heart of Chicago
Our dreams are flowing
Empowered to hope
And to believe
That if we reach
We can achieve
With each new day we realize
That life can change before our eyes
From where we came, to where we're going
In the heart of Chicago
A place where we can call home
From where we came
To where we're going
In the heart of Chicago
Our dreams are flowing
Empowered to hope
And to believe
That if we reach
We can achieve
With each new day we realizeThat life can change before our eyes
From where we came, to where we're going
In the heart of Chicago
A place where we can set our dreams in motion
