this song is an anthem for my country of Canada written from the land point of view.
lyrics
I Am Your Canada
Words and music by Kate Ashby-Craft
Chorus spoken
I am your Canada a mighty land am I
And all I ask of you is to treat me with respect
I am your Canada from sea to shining sea
And all I ask of you is to treat me with respect
Verse One
You came unto my soil and I gladly took you in
I let you clear my land but please don’t clear it all
I let you cut my trees but please let some stand tall
I let you catch my fish but please don’t take them all
Chorus
Verse Two
I let you smell my flowers so please let them grow
I let you eat my wildlife but please don’t kill them all
I let you drink my water so please keep it clean
I let you climb my mountains so my beauty you could feel
