I have walked cross the sand on the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland,
Lazed on the ridge of the Mirimichi.
Seen the waves tear and roar at the
stone coast of Labrador,
Watched them roll back to the great northern sea.
From the Vancouver Island
to the Alberta Highland,
Cross the prairie, the lakes to Ontario's towers.
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes
out to the Maritimes,
Something to sing about this land of ours.
I have welcomed the dawn from the
fields of Saskatchewan,
Followed the sun to the Vancouver shore.
Watched it climb shiny new
up the snow peaks of Caribou,
Up to the clouds where the wild Rockies soar.
From the Vancouver Island
to the Alberta Highland,
Cross the prairie, the lakes to Ontario's towers.
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes
out to the Maritimes,
Something to sing about this land of ours.
I have heard the wild wind sing
the places that I have been,
Bay Bull and Red Deer and Strait of Belle Isle.
Names like Grandmere and Silverthrone,
Moose Jaw and Marrowbone,
Trails of the pioneer named with a smile.
From the Vancouver Island
to the Alberta Highland,
Cross the prairie, the lakes to Ontario's towers.
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes
out to the Maritimes,
Something to sing about this land of ours.
I have wandered my way to the
wild wood of Hudson Bay,
Treated my toes to Quebec's morning dew.
Where the sweet summer breeze
kissed the leaves of the maple trees,
Sharing this song that I'm singing to you.
From the Vancouver Island
to the Alberta Highland,
Cross the prairie, the lakest to Ontario's towers.
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes
out to the Maritimes,
Something to sing about this land of ours.
Yes, there's something to sing about,
Tune up a string about,
Call out in chorus or quietly hum
of a land that's still young
With a ballad that's still unsung,
Telling the promise of great things to come.
From the Vancouver Island
to the Alberta Highland,
Cross the prairie, the lakes to Ontario's towers.
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes
out to the Maritimes,
Something to sing about this land of ours.
