O' Canada Day

Up there in the "Great White North"
All people across the land come forth
It's time to celebrate our nation's holiday
Known upon this day as "Canada Day"

Gather all your families, relatives, and friends
Join along with the rest of your fellow Canadians
Spanning all across the land's riches and beauties
Through its majestic and breathtaking places

From the nation's capital of Ottawa
To the diverse city of Toronto
Over the country lifestyles of Calgary
And the traditional French side of Montreal

Disciplined Royal Canadian Mounties and Armed Forces
Well-remembered Canadian Historical Legends
All of them along with you... who are proud to be Canadian

Beautiful floral gardens and splendid mixed forests
Enjoyable winter sports and popular hockey games

How one celebrate this historical holiday?
Only your true heart can determine this
Beginning the day with picnics and beaches
And by finishing with a night of spectacular fireworks

Show your precious colours of the Red and White
The Maple Leaf - one shall always honour
Singing with all our hearts as the flag waves up high
"O' Canada" - our anthem from our glowing hearts
