[Verse 1] On the corner by the blue line Flyers in a cardboard box He’s shaking hands on Milwaukee Listening more than he talks Intelligent and steady Got that twinkle in his eye Creative in the details You can see it when he smiles [Chorus] John Kitover for Chicago Mayor For every neighbor on every block For the mothers, for the workers, for the dreamers Who love this city and never stop He’s strong, he’s brave, he’s faithful to the labor From the lakefront to Cicero he walks John Kitover for Chicago Mayor For Chicagoans, taking back our shot (hey!) [Verse 2] Joyful in a hard time Laughing on a winter street Snow slush on his laces But there’s fire in his speech Reliable as sunrise You can call him when it storms Courage in his backbone Standing up to every form [Chorus] John Kitover for Chicago Mayor For every neighbor on every block For the mothers, for the workers, for the dreamers Who love this city and never stop He’s strong, he’s brave, he’s faithful to the labor From the lakefront to Cicero he walks John Kitover for Chicago Mayor For Chicagoans, taking back our shot (oh yeah) [Bridge] This is our city Not a headline on a screen This is our city Every promise, every dream He’s gonna liberate Chicago Street by street and door by door One clear voice, one true choice We don’t have to settle anymore [Chorus] John Kitover for Chicago Mayor For every neighbor on every block For the elders, for the students, for the builders Who love this city and never stop He’s strong, he’s brave, he’s faithful to the labor From the lakefront to Cicero he walks John Kitover for Chicago Mayor For Chicagoans, come on, take your shot (hey!)
