This City Inspires Me

The Chicago skyline. You symbolize home. You are me and I am you. There you are Sears Tower! Just like you I will stand tall and strong Even through life's toughest winds, I might sway back and forth, But to the ground which I was built on, I'll remain. Even when people try to change my name, I'll just reply "Watchya talkin bout Willis?!" Yeah, you'll always be Sears to me. And I'll always be Joe to you. Thank You Chicago. I promise I will get as fast as The trains and planes that transport your people And when I get caught up in life's traffic, I promise to keep my cool and my destination in mind. I promise to get as strong as your culture is. I promise to always be filled with as much vigor as Your raging college students are. I promise to stay as passionate as The struggling musicians that serenade your "L" subways are. I promise I will work as hard as Your workers that are just trying to pay their bills do. I promise I'll always stay as hungry As the poor that beg on your streets are. And I promise I'll make you proud of me. For I am proud of you! Chicago, don't you know? You will always put the "O" in Joe.
