Let us nurture a national vision that embodies love, understanding, compassion and tolerance.
In a big parade on Main Street
A marching brass band plays
Oh Canada we stand on guard
Today is Canada Day
This northern air is in my blood
My roots are in this clay
Her loving arms they wait for me
Today is Canada Day
Chorus
May your rivers flow along
May the north wind sing its song
May the Northern Lights dance forevermore
May your skies smile down on me
May we live in harmony
From the mountain to the prairie ,
to the rolling ocean shore
It's the voice of Gordon Lightfoot
It's the way that Gretzky played
It's the Bluenose on a silver dime
Today is Canada Day
Once I had a perfect love
But I watched her walk away
I remember her in the summer sun
Today is Canada Day
For the child asleep at her mother's breast
And the millions that work for their pay
In corner stores and factories
Today is Canada Day
And some grow rich and some grow poor
Why must it be that way
Why must women men and children
Go hungry on Canada Day
Let us nurture a national vision that embodies love, understanding, compassion and tolerance.
