Bear Down, Chicago Bears

The roar of orange
And white and blue
And people aching and breaking
This is what brings people together
This is what Chicago lives for

And you wouldn’t understand –
Not unless you’ve been there
Not unless you’ve seen it
That this isn’t just a game
And this isn’t just for fun.
No – this is the heart,
The soul, of Chicago

And we stand and sit
And hug and high five
Slapping skin, giving ten sometimes
Just because a ball has moved another few feet
Just because there’s some points on the board
No – it’s not just because of that
It’s because no matter what color,
No matter what breed, or gender,
Or blood type,
We are here together
And we are here to win

And I look into your eyes
As the final point is called
And I see nothing but joy
Nothing but ecstasy at what we have seen
What has happened here today –
This will go down in history
Maybe it wasn’t the most amazing game
Maybe we didn’t win by much
But it will go in my history
It will go in my records

And we kiss
Long and slow and smiling
And clinging
Still clinging to the hope that is
Chicago

Bear Down. Chicago Bears.
