[Verse 1] By the dock where the cold winds bite, I learned my name in the northern light. Boots in the slush, breath in the air, Mama said, "Stand tall, you belong right there." Hands on the fence when the sky ran red, Snow on the lane and a song in my head. From the lake to the pines, I can hear it say, Keep your heart on the road, don't drift away. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I know this land Like the lines on my hand. Home is a sound That pulls me back around. [Chorus] O Canada, sing it slow From the blue deep freeze to the places I know O Canada, hold me tight Under maple skies and the northern light O Canada, carry me through I belong to this road, and this road leads to you I belong, I belong O Canada, sing along (sing along) [Verse 2] Summer hits hard on a gravel back road, Kids with a ball and a cracked old toad. Far from the coast, but the same old tune, Three chords ring out under an open moon. Train whistle crying past the grain elevator, Dad in the yard with the rusted trailer. Every small town heart, every worn-out truck, Got a little more grace than a little more luck. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I know this land Like the lines on my hand. Home is a sound That pulls me back around. [Chorus] O Canada, sing it slow From the blue deep freeze to the places I know O Canada, hold me tight Under maple skies and the northern light O Canada, carry me through I belong to this road, and this road leads to you I belong, I belong O Canada, sing along (sing along) [Bridge] If I lose my way, Let the cedars say Where the river bends, That's where my story ends. Let the old drums roll, Let the whole world know We were built on frost And the love we don't let go (don't let go) [Final Chorus] O Canada, sing it slow From the blue deep freeze to the places I know O Canada, hold me tight Under maple skies and the northern light O Canada, carry me through I belong to this road, and this road leads to you I belong, I belong O Canada, sing along (sing along)
