[Verse 1]
Listen to the wind
Hear the voice inside you
Something in the air
Something you've been blind to
People everywhere are dying to be free
Time has come to live our lives in harmony

[Chorus]
Give the children of the world one more day
Give the children of the world, give them one more day

[Verse 2]
Where do we begin?
When will freedom find us?
Bring the new day in
Free the chains that bind us
People reaching out for just a little more
Love is all we need to open up the door

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now the future's up to you
Take a stand and see things through
For the children of tomorrow
Give the world one more day
Time enough to find a way
To start over a way to go on

[Outro]
One more day
One more day
Give the children of the world
One more day
One more day
One more day
Give the children of tomorrow
One more day

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
