Canada, O Canada
By Jerome D'Costa
Where reign the freedom and dynamic spirit,
An unparalleled land having unity in diversity.
Two oceans lovingly embrace thee in their bosoms,
The Great Lakes and numerous rivers sustain thee,
Like the maple, birch, cedar, spruce, and pine,
The cod, halibut, salmon, and trout make thee unique.
Your population weaves a tapestry of many colours,
Red, white, black, yellow and brown,
Coming as refugees, immigrants, and fortune seekers,
Creating a rich fusion of ideas, cultures, languages, and arts.
Let's be vigilant against colourism and regionalism,
That can spoil thy unity and inner beauty,
Let's all breathe the same fresh air, enjoy the same sunshine,
Under the large banner of the red maple leaf.
