| I count the days the great frontier
|
| Forgiving, faced the seventh year
|
| I stand in awe of gratefulness
|
| I can and call forgetfulness
|
| And when I, and when I call
|
| The patient, the patient fall
|
| The spirit, the carpenter
|
| Invites us to be with her
|
| What have we become America?
|
| Soldiers on the great frontier
|
| Carpenter and soldier, one on one
|
| It’s the battle, volunteer
|
| Run from yourself, from your friends, from ya
|
| Run for your life, for your friends, for ya
|
| America, merica, meri
|
| Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi
|
| I count the days the great frontier
|
| Forgiving, faced the seventh year
|
| I stand and strain to make ends meet
|
| Five spirits on the Grand Marquee
|
| And when I, and when I call
|
| The patient, the patient fall
|
| The spirit, the carpenter
|
| Invites us to be with her
|
| There was a man at the wall
|
| He was grateful for us all
|
| I saw the wise woman sing
|
| She wasn’t asking anything
|
| She wasn’t asking anything
|
| How she made the nations sing
|
| What have we become America?
|
| Soldiers on the great frontier
|
| Run from yourself, from your friends, from ya
|
| Run for your life, for your friends, for ya
|
| America, merica, meri
|
| Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi
|
| Oh great fire of great disaster
|
| Oh great Heaven, oh great master
|
| Oh great goat, the curse you gave us
|
| Oh great ghost, protect and save us
|
| Oh great river, green with envy
|
| Oh Jane Adams, spirit send thee
|
| Oh great trumpet and the singers
|
| (Given what you lost are you better off?)
|
| Oh great good man, King of Swingers
|
| (Given what you had, has it made you mad?)
|
| Oh great bears and bulls, Joe Jackson
|
| (Celebrate the few, celebrate the new)
|
| Oh great Illinois
|
| (It can only start with you) |
