Lyrics

From the rolling fields of wheat
To the busy city streets
There’s a feeling and a spirit all our own
True North, strong and free
Stand on guard, you and me
From the east to the west we roam
 
This is our home
 
From Norman Wells at the top
All the way to the Rock
There’s a wind that’s always blown
And from down Summerside
To the Queen Charlotte Islands
There’s a way of life we’ve always known
 
This is our home
 
I’ve seen the Northern Lights
Dancing over Yellowknife
While standing in the middle of a field
And from Pier 21
All the way to Flin Flon
You’ve gotta cross the Canadian Shield
And no one knows winter
Like we know winter
Blowing in off Lake Ontario
From the Rideau Canal
To Bonhomme Carnaval
There’s a little place I love in the Gatineaus
With a covered bridge and a swimming hole
 
This is our home
 
From Portage and Main
To Yonge and Queen
And every street corner in between
No matter where you go in this rugged land
There’s one thing we all understand
Every woman, every child, and Man
 
8:30 Newfoundland
 
Way up in Peace Country
Down east in King’s County
And clear across to Thunder Bay
Where Winnipeg feels like forever
And Hope seems like never
Let alone out Campbell River way
 
And when you cross the border
And see caribou on the quarter
Then and only then will you be home
I’ve driven from the Peg to the Chuk
And Yankees call us Canucks
But together we’ll never stand alone
Yeah, together, we’ll never stand alone
I said, forever the Maple Leaf will be flown
 
This is our home
 
From the Tar Sands in Fort Mac
To the tides of Petitcodiac
And down on the Shuswap too
I’ve seen midnight feel like high noon
From the Dome to Saskatoon
There’s Confederation Bridge
And Butternut Ridge
Sudbury and the Sault
I’ve lived in the Lakeland
I’ve been to the Badlands
Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump too
I’ve been snowed in for days
On the Trans-Canada Highway
And that was in the month of June
 
This is our home
