Performed exclusively by local artists, “We Are Cleveland” was written in collaboration with the Guardians and produced by Sam Getz and Jimmy Weaver, two founding members of the Cleveland-based band, Welshly Arms. Getz and Weaver are joined on drums by Joey “Coach” Hanna, who has toured and recorded with artists such as Bootsy Collins & Gavin Degraw. Accompanying the duo on vocals are two other members of Welshly Arms, the husband and wife team of Jon and Bri Bryant (“Lady Bri”), alongside Stacey Richardson (“Sarah’s Girl”), who has performed with the likes of Gerald Levert and Anthony Hamilton, in addition to assisting with vocal arrangements for past Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremonies in Cleveland.

Lyrics:

Are you ready now?
Get up and count it down
It’s our time, it’s our town, we should make it loud

216 family
It’s who we’re proud to be
From the east to the west side sing it with me

We are.
We are.
Cleveland!

[Guardians chorus]

We’re right where we belong
Singin’ Ohio songs
Let ‘em hear it, let ‘em feel it, make your voices strong

We never compromise
Never apologize
In this town, knock us down, we will always rise

We are.
We are.
Cleveland!

[Guardians chorus]

We will fight
Strong and proud
We will all defend this town

Loyal and strong
Fight for what we believe in
This city we love, yeah, we all stand for Cleveland

We are Cleveland!
We are Cleveland!

  4. John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    We are all sinners, but God decided to come to Earth as a human just for our sake, so that we may have Eternal Life.
