Cleveland Rising: This City is Our Home
Lyrics: Alex Sukhoy, Music: Vanessa Daffron

Intro
From our steel mills
To our baseball
I’ve seen it rise
And I’ve seen it fall…
Verse 1
The factories closed down
Like a sunset in a fog
In this steel-belt Midwest town
We even burnt the Cuyahog
Verse 2
We were winners once ago
We just forgot how it felt to win
Myopic martership our Achilles
Insecurity, our sin
Chorus
In the churches we all pray
In this town I’ll always stay
Cleveland is my home
Verse 3
We have youth and sight and Splendor
Like a phoenix we will rise
No ashes blown into our river
No ashes blow, no ashes blow
No ashes blow, like they've blown before
Into our river
Chorus
In the churches we all pray
In this town I’ll always stay
Cleveland is my home
Verse 4
Now I confess to you, my dear
My precious city by the lake
I'll treat you better now
For you are no mistake
Chorus
In the churches we all pray
In this town
I’ll always stay
Cleveland is my home
This City is My Home
