Ode to the True North
A Tribute to Canada's Majesty and Unity
In the land where the maple trees stand tall and proud,
Where the northern lights dance, and the wild winds are loud,
There lies a nation, vast and wide,
Where courage and peace in harmony reside.
Oh Canada, with your skies so vast and blue,
Your mountains majestic, and your lakes a crystal hue,
From the Atlantic breeze to the Pacific's embrace,
Your beauty captivates, a land of grace.
In the heart of your forests, whispers of history tell,
Of First Nations, whose spirits in the woodlands dwell,
Their wisdom like the rivers, ancient and deep,
Guiding a nation, their legacy to keep.
Your fields of wheat, gold in the sun's embrace,
Feed the dreams of many, a diverse and vibrant race,
From every corner of the Earth, people come to your door,
Seeking freedom and hope, on your welcoming shore.
Oh Canada, where the wild geese soar high,
Under the canopy of your endless, azure sky,
Your flag, a symbol, red and white and strong,
A testament to a place where all belong.
In cities that sparkle like stars at night,
In quiet villages, under the northern light,
In every heart, there’s a song to be sung,
Of a love for a country, young and strong.
For you are more than just land and sea,
You are a promise, a dream, a destiny,
A beacon of kindness, tolerance, and care,
A haven where people from all walks can share.
So here's to you, Canada, in all your glory,
A tapestry woven with many a story,
From sea to sea, in unity and might,
You stand, a beacon, a shining light.
In the chorus of nations, let it be known,
Canada, your glory forever has grown,
In the hearts of your people, proud and free,
You are home, a symbol of unity.
