This is My Home - John Laudon

This is My Home (John Laudon) 

I came to Hong Kong in 1985, and landing over Kowloon City on the Kai Tak runway left be breathless... ever since then, Hong Kong has been my home, the place I initially came to volunteer and help people, and where I started and continued my music career. This is the home where my family started, and where our two precious sons were born and raised. This song just simply expresses my heart about this amazing city, this fragrant harbour that has been and will continue to be my home.

My heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in this simple project - Michael, Renee, Ah Long .... and also a huge thank you to my family, my sons, my friends, and all those who gave me a chance to share my music and songs in this city. You have truly made Hong Kong home for me these 35 years.

This is My Home

People mountain, people sea

soaring towers and crowded streets

from the harbour to the mountain peaks

This is a city truly unique

I have lived here since eighty five

through the sunshine, and through hard times

but it holds me, like a love that’s torn

that will stand strong through every storm

Chorus:

I’ve climbed the mountains

I’ve walked these streets

this town this village that never sleeps

So many faces both young and old

This fragrant harbour 

this is my home 

This is a city that's a sea of lights

it still shines on through the darkest night

just like a candle an eternal flame

I know this city has called my name

Chorus:

I’ve climbed the mountains

And walked these streets

this town this village that never sleeps

So many faces both young and old

This fragrant harbour 

this is my home 

Bridge:

We're filled with hopes and dreams

to live our lives in joy and peace

I will stay here I will not go

Because I’m proud to call this place my home

This is my home

Chorus:

I’ve climbed the mountains

And walked these streets

This precious city that never sleeps

So many faces both young and old

This fragrant harbour 

this is my home 

This fragrant harbour 

this is my home 

through the good times, and through the pain, 

through the sunshine and through the rain

this is the home where we belong

And I have faith we will stand strong

Yes I have faith in my Hong Kong
