Something to Sing About

I have walked cross the sand Near the Grand Banks of Newfoundland Lazed on the ridge of the Miramichi Seen the waves tear and roar On the stone coast of Labradour Watched them roll back To the Great Northern Sea From the Vancouver Islands To the Alberta Highlands Cross the Prairies, the Lakes To Ontario's towers From the sound of Mount Royal's Chimes Up 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 Islands To the Alberta Highlands Cross the Prairies, the Lakes To Ontario's towers From the sound of Mount Royal's Chimes Up 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 Québec's morning dew Where the sweet summer breeze Kissed the leaves of the maple trees Singing this song That I'm sharing with you From the Vancouver Islands To the Alberta Highlands Cross the Prairies, the Lakes To Ontario's towers From the sound of Mount Royal's Chimes Up to the Maritimes Something to sing about This land of ours I have heard the wild winds Sing of places that I have been Bay Bulls and Red Deer And the Strait of Belle Isle Names like Grand-Mere and Silverthorn Moose Jaw and Marrowbone Trails of the Pioneer Named with a smile From the Vancouver Islands To the Alberta Highlands Cross the Prairies, the Lakes To Ontario's towers From the sound of Mount Royal's Chimes Up 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 Islands To the Alberta Highlands Cross the Prairies, the Lakes To Ontario's towers From the sound of Mount Royal's Chimes Up to the Maritimes Something to sing about This land of ours Yes, there's something to sing about This land of ours
