Song For Canada

Ian Tyson / Pete Gzowski


How come we can't talk to eachother anymore?
Why can't you see I'm changing, too?
We've gone by far too long to end it feeling wrong
And I still share too much with you

Chorus:
Just one great river, always rolling to the sea
One single river rolling in eternity
Two nations in our land, that lie along its 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 much it hurts
It wasn't me that held you down.

Chorus

Why can't you understand I'm glad you're standing proud?
I know you made it on your own
But in this pride you've earned I thought you might have learned
That you don't have to stand alone

Just one great river, always rolling to the sea
One single river rolling in eternity
Two nations in our land, that lie along its shore
But just one river -- you and me
