The Sound Of San Francisco
M.C. Mario Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It only takes a tiny corner of
This great big world to make a place you love
My home up on the hill
I find I love you still
I've been away but now I'm back to tell you

San Francisco
Open your golden gate
You let no stranger wait outside your door
San Francisco
Here is your wandering one
Saying I'll wander no more
Other places only make me love you best
Tell me you're the heart of all the golden west

San Francisco
Welcome me home again




I'm coming home
To go roaming no more

The lyrics to M.C. Mario's "The Sound Of San Francisco" are a tribute to the city of San Francisco and the feeling of coming home to a place you love. The opening line "It only takes a tiny corner of this great big world to make a place you love" is a reminder that sometimes it's the small things that make a place special. The following lines "My home up on the hill, I find I love you still" suggests that the singer has been away from San Francisco but upon returning home, they are reminded of their love for the city.


The chorus of the song, "San Francisco, open your golden gate, you let no stranger wait outside your door," is a reference to the welcoming nature of the city. San Francisco is a place where anyone can feel at home, and the people are always willing to embrace newcomers. The singer refers to himself as the "wandering one" who has found a permanent home in San Francisco.
