All those years ago before I left
I said let me embrace you once again
I had dreams to seek so very far away
A new tomorrow in another land
New York is a city full of dreams
Fancier than where I have ever lived
Streets filled with tall buildings
Taller than I have ever seen
But there’s nothing like you, can’t you see?
So dear Canton Tower
I need you to stand behind me
Be my rock and give me power,
Bring me faith, to make me stronger
And when I come back to you
Wish I could stand as tall as you do
I’ll be as proud as you too
I do wish I could
I do wish I could
I’m still chasing some of those dreams
Though I gave up on a few, it seems
I’m walking on the streets all alone
But I never feel lonely
You know that’s a lie
I do miss my family
So dear Canton Tower
I need you to stand behind me
Be my rock and give me power,
Bring me faith, to make me stronger
And when I come back to you
Wish I could stand as tall as you do
I’ll be as proud as you too
I do wish I could
I do wish I could
