Toronto City - Part 1

By the hedge of Toronto, Ontario city

Where we sat down with friends and family

There I went to receive and share freely

Giving extol to a colorful journey

When hurdle, fear and bureaucracy

Held me down in captivity

Required of me faith and ruse to see victory

Now how shall I retain my stride

Entering a strange future century

Let the dreams of our youth

And the rhythms of our heart

Be the pillar in this flight

Forevermore starting tonight

By the hedge of this city

Where we sat down in glory

There we sanctify unity
