Canada

Fancy hotel rooms
Window with a view
Staring into nothing
I thought I saw you

Your colors dancing in my mind
But they were only neon signs
Oh Canada, I'm trying to find you
Will you wait for me?

There's people on the street
I know I'll never meet
I wonder what they're thinking
What their dreams are
But they just keep on walking by
I can see the questions in their eyes

Oh Canada, you're a tree among towers
Just starting to climb
Please don't grow too quickly now
Don't leave us all behind

Pages of progress start to turn
Too quickly and the pages burn
Let's hope that we don't learn, too late
Let's hope it's never too late to learn
No, don't let the madness wash you away

Life keeps rolling by
Before it goes I'll try
To be stronger, to be wiser
Maybe just understand
What makes people fight to survive
While by themselves they softly sigh

Oh Canada, where are you going
Will you wait for me?
Oh Canada, I'm trying to find you
(Canada)
Will you wait for me?

Oh Canada, I'm trying to find you
(Canada)
Will you wait for me?
Oh Canada
(Canada)
Oh Canada
