"Lightfoot"
(Lyrics & Music: Aengus Finnan)
On the road that lies before us, from sea to shining sea
There’s a voice in the distance that beckons “follow me”
And it’s there within the forest, and beneath the silver moon
And it whistles in the wires with the memory of a tune
Well you tread this country Lightfoot, and you took a mighty stand
When you saw in her a beauty and you held her rugged hand
From her shield and her shoreline, you gathered in rhyme
Tender words that told her story, they linger yet in time
Ever will this land remember
Ever will your name be strong
Ever will the true north ring
With the glory of your song
Through the wide and rolling prairies, to the lights of Massey Hall
You sang about a people, dreamers one and all
And you climbed the highest mountains, felt the early morning rain
You traveled to the southland, but came back home again
Ever will this land remember
Ever will your name be strong
Ever will the true north ring
With the glory of your song
Long gone, the Riverboat and Yorkville Days
Long gone, the lines the navies laid
Long gone, lovers and the carefree highway
Still here are the tracks you made
Ever will this land remember
Ever will your name be strong
Ever will the true north ring
With the glory of your song
Ever will Canada
Sing the glory of your song
