Our City
"Where trees stand in the water" is the name that it had
Long before this place was known as our home and native land
Nowadays you'll find people from all walks of life
At the Royal Winter Fair or skatin' at the Square
Till day turns to night
Before the Dome, before the Tower and even the CNE
Standing in the town of York is where we would be
Before horse and buggy became TTC
Before Kensington and the Distillery
That's what that town came to be
That's where that town became our city
At Parliament and Front, is where it all began
Little did they know what would become when they planted that flag
Celebratin' love with a week of pride
Summers at the Ex, it's gone too quick
You always want a little more time
Now from the Beaches to Chinatown, both sides of the Don
I wonder if it's what they had in mind all along
From the valley green to the city streets
Rock n roll soul to urban beats
That's what that town came to be
I'm glad that town became our city
To the west it ends at Etobicoke Creek
The Rouge River to the east
In between you'll find all the life
That makes our city shimmer and shine
All the soul, all the sounds
All the secret spots to be found
The good, good livin'
Yeah this is our city
