V1 Chicago has a vibrant soul It's the home of urban blues People window shop and stroll Dance along Michigan Avenue V2 The wind will push you down the street Carried by icy lake effect Just bundle up, create some heat Let the city's arms warm and protect Chorus In Winter the hawk swoops down Stretching its wings, bitter cold Sharp claws will chill you to the bone Fiercely blowing into town Easy to love, but hard to hold It's the best city I've ever known Instrumental Bridge V3 Chicagoans make you feel at home Open hearts with a welcome beat Art's alive wherever you roam It's all the buzz on the street Chorus In Winter the hawk swoops down Stretching its wings, bitter cold Sharp claws will chill you to the bone Fiercely blowing into town Easy to love, but hard to hold It's the best city I've ever known Instrumental Bridge Pre-chorus Winterhawk returns each year But the warmth of the city Will court and call you near Chorus In Winter the hawk swoops down Stretching its wings, bitter cold Sharp claws will chill you to the bone Fiercely blowing into town Easy to love, but hard to hold It's the best city I've ever known Outro Winterhawk But the warmth Winterhawk But the warmth Will court and call you near Will court and call you near Winterhawk (x4)
