Verse 1 We used to know just who we were, And what we stood behind, Fair chance, strong backs, open hearts, And respect for everyone. We welcomed folks who came to build, Who came to pull their weight, Now people worry rules got bent It’s the working fam that pays. Verse 2 Some are packin’ up their pickup dreams, Not ‘cause they want to go, But every night the news feels loud, And hope feels awful low. They build their life on honest work, On calloused hands and pride, Now they’re wonderin’ if this land Is still free and on their side. Chorus We love the red, we love the white, Love every shade who loves this land, Who comes to build, not tear it down, Who gives more than they demand. We don’t fear change, we fear losin’ it The values that made us strong, [Verse 3] We love the sound of skates on ice, Cold beer on Friday nights, Snow fallin’ soft on quiet streets, Porch lights glowin’ warm and bright. We love that this land still leads with heart, Still stands for lendin’ a helping hand, But patience fades when the pay runs short And nobody hears the plan. [Chorus] We love the red, we love the white, Love every shade who loves this land, Who comes to build, not tear it down, Who gives more than they demand. We don’t fear change, we fear losin’ it The values that made us strong, Faith, family, friends, hard work — Was where we all belong. [Bridge] This ain’t about where you’re from, It’s about what you stand to do, Do you carry our same values That honours me and you? We need leaders who remember What the working hearts go through, Who stand up for Canadian dreams, Not just the loudest few. [Final Chorus] We love the red, we love the white, Love every shade who loves this land, Who comes to build, not tear it down, Who gives more than they demand. We don’t fear change, we fear losin’ it The values that made us strong, Faith, family, friends, hard work — Was where we all belong. It's where we all belong. Yes, it's where we all belong. It's where we all belong. Yes, it's where we all belong.
