FOR CANADA

(written for the National Party of Canada)

’93 federal election

Hear the soulful drum beat

through the forests

and city streets

that pulse is chiming deep

for Canada

Millions have gone before

built this country

from the iron oar

they gave right to the core

for Canada

Sometime the waters seemed too deep

rapids too rough

mountains to steep

when all but hope was gone

they just kept on

for Canada

All kinds of explores

strive to open new doors

yes many griped the oars

for Canada

Sometimes the waters will seem too deep

rapids too rough

mountains too steep

when all but hope seems gone

just press on

for Canada

Beat the drum

Row the oars

Shout it through the streets

For Canada
