We came from different roads.

We came from different roads. Different names. Different skies. But here… we stand in the same place. Canada. Home. --- 🎤 [Verse 1 – Spoken with tempo] English. French. Mandarin. Cree. Arabic. Punjabi. Tagalog. Tamil. We speak in dozens of voices. But the heartbeat is shared. Our foods are different. Our prayers. Our memories. But we all carry the story of someone before us who worked so we could stand here now. We are the children of survivors, of farmers, of freedom seekers, of warriors, of builders, of parents who left everything behind so we could have something more. And now… we have it. --- 🎶 [Hook – sung, emotional] But what will they say? When they look back on today? Will they call us the ones who changed it all— Or the ones who let it slip away? --- 🎤 [Verse 2 – Pick up pace] We are the most connected generation in history— and yet somehow, the most divided. We scroll. We swipe. We stream. We demand. We consume. We expect. We’ve built a world of comfort, but not enough of contribution. We've turned luxury into normal, and normal into not enough. We’ve become the child who throws a tantrum after the candy's gone and the park is closed. This is not shame. This is a mirror. Because it’s not too late. --- 🎶 [Hook – chorus rises] But what will they say? When they speak of this time? Will they call us the ones who stood together— Or the ones who lost the line? --- 🎤 [Verse 3 – Reflective tone] It’s time we started listening. To elders. To land. To truth. It’s time we understood the lineage. The sacrifice. The sweat. The war. The miles walked. The languages passed down so that one day—we could live free. This is that day. And what will we do with it? --- 🎤 [Verse 4 – Build energy] This is not about guilt. This is about responsibility. To each other. To the land. To the ones still coming. We can change direction. We can build the next system. We can work harder, work together, rise above the noise and remember who we are. > Not just Canadians by flag— But Canadians by purpose. --- 🎶 [Final Chorus – soaring] What will they say… when they speak of us? Will they say we gave it all? Will they say we rose with love? Will they sing the song we leave behind— Of unity, of hope, of time? --- 🎤 [Outro – gentle, real] This is our chance. Not to be perfect— but to be worth remembering. Let that be our anthem. Let that be Canada.
