Song for Canada

How come we can't talk to each other any more?

Why can't you see I'm changing too?

We've got by far too long to end it feeling wrong

And I still share too much with you

Just one great river always flowing to the sea

One single river rolling in eternity

Two nations in this land that lies along it's shore

But just one river rolling free

How come you shut me out as if I wasn't there

What's this new bitterness you've found?

However wronged you were, however strong it hurt

It wasn't me who held you down

One single river always flowing to the sea

One single river rolling in eternity

Two nations in this land that lies along it's shore

But just one river rolling free

Why can't you understand I'm glad you're standing proud

I know you made it on your own

But in this new pride you've earned, I thought you might have learned

That you don't have to stand alone

Lonely northern river always flowing to the sea

One single river rolling in eternity

Two nations in this land that lies along it's shore

But just one run river rolling free
