We are a thousand miles from our longings
Pinning dreams on over twenty thousand street corners
With many bridges to cross over
We are the beat, a city in heat
Alive, diverse and strutting verse
We are new age digital microwave
satellite communicators
Fiber wave optics, print, radio
and Television originators

We are our peoples’ toil in this land
Our dreams alive in this land
A three million sided heart is this land
We are Toronto
          an experiment gone grand

See my bones, flowing Rouge Humber Don
but where are the others?
hidden under time and ambition
the blind freight of generations
small names given by those
who name to forget
