Letter To Usa

Letter To USA

 We stand with you big brother
Consider your friendship the best
You've often been there to help us
 When we  found ourselves  in distress
 True we joke about each other
 But do so in harmless fun
 We remain loyal to our friendship
 Our goal being freedom for each one
 You've earned our admiration
 As your neighbour we know we are blest 
 You've supported us through hard times
 Two countries marching abreast 
 Some of your soldier's died to save our wounded
 I dare say this is true
And many Canadians still bow their heads
When flying at half-staff they see the Red, White and Blue
There are those whose aim is  to divide us
As they  provoke war among kin and  friend 
If we fail to  stand up against powers in high places
Our liberties are destined to abruptly end
Don't be fooled by deceivers ruled by the Prince of Darkness
Whose motive is to enslave mankind in  poverty
War is raging against the Home of the Brave and Land of the Free
We cannot fail in this war for freedom
We cannot permit evil to reign supreme
We must leave our descendants with hope for a future
To achieve the American Dream
