Mavis Staples Chicago Lyrics

[Verse]
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
Maybe things will be better in Chicago

Well it's brave for us to stay, even braver to go away
Wherever we go, I go Chicago
Maybe things will be better in Chicago, in Chicago

[Bridge]
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
Not alone, not afraid
'Cause this bird, this bird left his cage

[Verse]
There's so much magic we have known
On this sapphire we call home
With my coat and my hat, I say goodbye to all of that
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
