There’s No Place Like Home

There’s No Place Like Home

There’s No Place Like Home

San Francisco • 2016

  • Home is where I was born and raised
    Home is where my heart lives
    Home made me
    The city by the bay, Where we can say “Heyy’
    My Magical land, come on and join my band
    This is my home
    The coldest summer
    The warmest fall
    The grooviest fog will make you feel like a frog
    Beware don’t fall on the log because there’s a hairy dog 
    Chilly nights will make you shiver, burrrrr!
    Rain or shine that city is mine
    People from all over the world make San Francisco 
    We are a melting pot and together make one
    From Central and South America to the Islands and Ice Land
    This city is so pretty, not so itty bitty
    Food is so good 
    With one bite you will feel delight
    Sure to be excited would soon want to be reunited
    From raw sushi to bravos cheesy pizza
    Indian curry to Salvadorian pupusas
    Anything your stomach wants, my city has it
    From La Mission to Bayview
    From Ocean Beach to Golden Gate 
    From Squeaky cable cars to fisherman wharf
    This is my city come my way by the bay
    Hooray! They say
    I love you, my beloved city, San Francisco
