Canada, Canada

[Verse 1] I pay for rain with a smile Boots by the door all winter Bus comes late, I still wave Coffee in hand, cheeks redder Poutine on a paper plate Skates carve lines on the lake Neighbors hold the door, say “sorry” Then we laugh, and we stay [Pre-Chorus] Every town got its own cold Every block got its own heat We move through the long dark With a little heart and a little grit [Chorus] Canada, Canada I live where the wind cuts clean Canada, Canada Still it feels like home to me Maple on my sleeve Snow on my jeans Canada, Canada That’s my life, that’s me [Verse 2] We know the price of the gas And how to stretch a paycheck Summer hits like a prize So we fill every park and deck Hockey kids on the curb Lined up in their bright red gear One team, then another Everybody cheering here [Pre-Chorus] Every town got its own cold Every block got its own heat We move through the long dark With a little heart and a little grit [Chorus] Canada, Canada I live where the wind cuts clean Canada, Canada Still it feels like home to me Maple on my sleeve Snow on my jeans Canada, Canada That’s my life, that’s me [Bridge] From the coast to the plain To the roads in between We keep a place for the stranger And a chair at the table clean Not rich, not easy Just steady and true And when the night gets heavy We carry each other through [Final Chorus] Canada, Canada I live where the wind cuts clean Canada, Canada Still it feels like home to me Maple on my sleeve Snow on my jeans Canada, Canada That’s my life, that’s me Canada, Canada Yeah, we sing it loud and free
