A brand new day has dawned
Another era has begunWe welcome the return
Of Cleveland’s second-favorite son
No more will those Ohioans
Complain and moan and grumbleNo more will they disdain the drive;
Obsess about the fumble
There’s something on the news today
I’ve not seen for a whileThe sun came up this morning
And I saw a city smile
The science ISN’T settled
Fortune CAN be brooked by menThomas Wolfe was wrong
Because you can go home again
I read the words the athlete wrote
I read the words and criedIf any man says that he didn’t
I say that man just lied
How rare and wonderful a thing
Dear sisters and dear brothersThat someone pondering their path
Should think so much of others
And how amid your triumphs
Find the courage that it takesTo stand before the world
And to acknowledge your mistakes
Now I’m ecstatic too
Because as everybody knowsOur nation’s outlook turns
The way the Cuyahoga flows
The Cleveland streets are joyous now
But soon we may all learnHow happier “C-Town” can be…
Should “Johnny Radio” return
