Canada Day

In Canada the time is right,
to smile at the world today .
For Canadians all love to dance,
and sing and work and play .
Canada so large and bold with green pastures
in peaceful spots .
Canada with regions cold ,
in the beauty of vacant lots .
The Sun is always shining
beyond the highest mountain top .
It's remote in rocky places
where the snowfalls never stop.
I think some days cloudy skies
will try to shake the blue away ,
but in this world there's a time,
to remember Canada Day .
