Come and Celebrate
(For Mississauga’s 50th Anniversary – Song Version)
[Verse 1]
Dawn breaks where Riverwood birds sing,
Credit River flows with ancient dreams.
Sails in the harbor, salmon rush through,
Stories awaken where the lighthouse gleams.
[Verse 2]
Villages rose where rail lines ran,
Old trails curved the shape of land.
Cultures weaving, colours blend,
Wampum whispers, peace extends.
Chorus
Come, celebrate—feel the city’s light,
From past to future, shining bright.
Voices rising, dreams take flight,
Mississauga, tonight’s our night!
[Verse 3]
Festivals blaze, and music plays,
Powwow drums and lakeside waves.
Magic in March, bright holiday cheer,
The city’s heartbeat sings each year.
[Verse 4]
Caring hearts and open minds,
Marking moments as time unwinds.
Beneath the stars where skylines gleam,
Here we stand, and here we dream.
Chorus
Come, celebrate—feel the city’s light,
From past to future, shining bright.
Voices gather, dreams take flight,
Mississauga, tonight’s our night!
