That's how it once was known,
Celebrating being free of England,
Still loyal to the Crown,
But autonomous in every way,
Well, 'least the country is,
Those inside it, well depends who you are,
All countries judge you by your origins,
Now we all celebrate Canada day,
Well, the government does,
Those inside it respond in diff'ring ways,
Often depending on their origins,
We have a lot to be proud of, you know,
Universal healthcare,
Basic respect for individuals,
Regardless of from where,
Or what they think,
In both those things I'm proud,
Rather grateful, it should be a given,
But life's made up of silence versus loud.
