I Stand UpChicago

[Verse 1]
You'll never lose me to temptation
Fighting the devil and I beat the dragon too
I'm at your rescue, I'm your faithful one
If it's the last thing that I ever mean to do
I'm in deeper than you could know
The wise in me won't let it go
You can count on me, guarantee

[Chorus]
I stand up, I stand up
Believe in myself (If you love somebody, stand)
I stand up, I stand up
Give me a little respect (If you need somebody, stand)

[Verse 2]
Out of the shadow, yet I'm alright
It's not as easy as I know it used to be
I don't have time to look behind me
I know the truth and it's the truth that set me free
One more heart to heart to live for
One more time to stop the war
Inside of me, in spite of me

[Chorus][x2]

Chicago

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.
