A Love Song for Canada

Canada, thee I adore,
My heart forever carries
A song of praise, a prayer for peace
Through the Rockies, plains and valleys.

The call of loon, of many a bird
Reminding day by day
Of the freedom of this land I love
In such a special way.

The shores of all the lakes I know,
Their sound of waves I treasure;
Beneath the wings of a butterfly
All time and space I measure.

The whisp'ring of the Maple Tree
Re-echoes everywhere:
God bless our Land, our Canada
And keep it safe forever.
