Lyrics
I am your Canada
copyright Kate Ashby-Craft 1994
Chorus spoken
I am your Canada a mighty land am I
And all I ask of you is to treat me with respect
I am your Canada from sea to shining sea
And all I ask of you is to treat me with respect
Verse One
You came unto my soil and I gladly took you in
I let you clear my land but please don?t clear it all
I let you cut my trees but please let some stand tall
I let you catch my fish but please don?t take them all
Chorus
Verse Two
I let you smell my flowers so please let them grow
I let you eat my wildlife but please don?t kill them all
I let you drink my water so please keep it clean
I let you climb my mountains so my beauty you could feel
Chorus
Interlude
