about

"City of Dreams" is my tribute to Us who are different. My city is Toronto, a city that exemplifies colour, diversity, culture, art, music, food, and home. City of Dreams. City of Pride. City of Love.

lyrics

Sitting in a crowded streetcar
Filled with a hundred voices
Dragons are hiding
And fortunes are turned
Not far away I hear the heartbeat
The drumbeat of Kensington Market
This is my city of dreams.

Climbing a thousand footsteps
Meet you there to greet the sky
Raptors are dining
And bluejays will fly
I'll wait for you at Eaton's Fountain
We'll glide under Nathan's Arches
This is my city of pride.

Chorus:
Crystal clear, the canvas speaks
of colours so dazzling
Theatre's near, red carpet brings
Exciting, award-winning
Toronto, we're in the six
We're spicy, we're different, we're free.

Violins at Roy Thomson
Spirits in Distillery
The Beaches in moonlight
The jazzy cafes
Casa Loma's prince is calling
And serenading
This is my city of love.

Chorus:
World-class city, the fireworks speak
of your vibrant people
Nation's envy, the die hards cheer
The Leafs are our heroes
Toronto, we're in the six
We're spicy, we're different, we're free.
We're free
We're free
We're home.
