My Canada

This heaven is my Canada so proud so wide
I've seen marshes, woodlands, rockies, fields and rising tides
Seen a lot of worlds I've known go to waste now in my time
But I will not be blind to the crimes against my country.

As I go through this old world so far from here
The horizons, lakes, and futures never seem as clear
as the rapture of the hinterland I hold so dear
I will not be blind to crimes against my country.

To keep this land preserved, protected from tyranny
governments and policy raise fears in me
I hope someday to simply see my children grow
In this place that I call Canada my life and home.

It's not too hard to imagine papers being signed
By the stiff suits we'll elect because the saints resign
And the bulldozers beating all the very fields
That our forebears served for many years for many yields

And the woods and fields all gone to fire and condemnation
Wetlands, marshes gone to fire and excavations
and the youth in suits who grow to learn to love the crimes
but I will not be blind to the crimes against my country.

This heaven is my Canada so proud so wide
I've seen marshes, woodlands, rockies, fields and rising tides
Seen a lot of worlds I've known go to waste now in my time
But I will not be blind to the crimes against my country.

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
