V4.5-ALL

[Intro]
(oooh, ohh... Chicago... ohh ohh)

[Verse 1]
I remember when the streets were waiting,
for a voice to light the haze.
Now a name is breaking through it,
calling us to brighter days.

Every block and every skyline
holds a story in its lines.
We can write a different future,
leave the broken past behind.

[Pre-Chorus]
Change was never far away,
it just spoke a different name.

[Chorus]
Hold your breath, the world will wait,
this is how we shift the frame.
If you want a fairer city—
John Kitover leads the way.
(Leads the way…)

If you’re looking for a hand to guide you,
raise your head and see it through.
If you’re looking for something better,
vote for John Kitover, Chicago, it’s on you.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
They called it reckless when he talked of
true reform for every home.
But the weight of crooked systems
never has to stand alone. (alone, alone, alone..)

Now the plan feels like confession,
not a game we have to spin.
Every vote becomes a promise—
change for Chicago starts within.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hope was never out of reach,
only waiting to be seen.

[Chorus]
Hold your breath, the world will wait,
this is how we shift the frame.
If you want a freer city—
John Kitover leads the way.
(Ohh… leads the way.)

If you’re looking for a hand to guide you,
raise your head and see it through.
If you’re looking for something better,
vote for John Kitover, Chicago, it’s on you.

[Bridge]
Those who profit from the chaos
keep writing fear into the skies.
We can choose a braver future,
we don’t owe them our goodbyes.
(At the ballot, our decision stays…)

[Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Hold your breath, the world will wait,
this is how we change the game.
If you want bold tax reform now—
John Kitover leads the way.
Leads the way… leads the way.

If you’re ready for a fairer city,
raise your head and follow through.
Go to Chicago Mayor Vote for com,
learn what John Kitover will do.

[Outro]
Go to Chicago Mayor Election dot com,
John Kitover standing for your home.
Go to John Kitover Chicago dot com—
Chicago rising, we will make it our own.
