The Maple Trees Remember

歌詞

In days of yore from foreign shores The royal minions came And planted firm their feckless flags On such a fair domain It marked the beginnings of the end Of those who first were there The cultures and a people proud Were lost forevermore The maple tree who once stood strong Come gather round and sing this song together Forget their queen and all she mans The Maple Tree The Maple Tree Remember Protect the weak and show the strength Of natural cathedrals in paradise Above which shine The northern lights The way we are, remember? Mountains and prairies From sea to sea Blue unending skies If you spy those endless skies A hungry eagle flies Oh Canada your forests stood For 250 million moons With axe and saw They hacked you down The end will be here soon The marathon of greed decreed Those traitors made it all clear Majestic trees who once grew tall Were doomed to disappear
