We Are Cleveland

We all Stand for the Land and our city deserves an anthem that reflects the loyalty, pride and resilience of its people.

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.

"We Are 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!
