Verse 1:
From Chicago's skyline to the river's grace,
Where the blues notes linger and the jazz finds its place,
In the heart of the Prairie State, where the echoes play,
Illinois, you're a melody that leads the way.

Chorus:
From the city lights to the countryside,
Underneath the endless skies where the spirits glide,
In the land of legends and the music's sway,
Illinois, you're the song of yesterday and today.

Verse 2:
Historic clubs and the soulful sounds,
From Chicago's streets to the rural towns,
The rhythm of the blues and the jazz's call,
In Illinois, where the music stands tall.

Chorus:
From the city lights to the countryside,
Underneath the endless skies where the spirits glide,
In the land of legends and the music's sway,
Illinois, you're the song of yesterday and today.

Bridge:
In the strum of the guitar and the saxophone's cry,
In the rhythms of the night and the clear blue sky,
With a heritage so rich and a sound so true,
Illinois, you're the music we pursue.

Chorus:
From the city lights to the countryside,
Underneath the endless skies where the spirits glide,
In the land of legends and the music's sway,
Illinois, you're the song of yesterday and today.

Outro:
So here's to the echoes and the vibrant sound,
To the melodies that lift us off the ground,
Illinois, forever in our hearts you'll stay,
The land of music where we find our way."
