My deep roots are explained by my love for my country. the words inside the **'s are just my own reference and are nothing extra special.
“Maple Dreams”
by Murray Studer (Whitewolf) (CC BY 2024)
(Verse 1)
**In the land of the maple**, where rivers flow,
**Our roots run deep**, like the Rockies' snow.
From **coast to coast**, a tapestry unfolds,
**We're stitched together**, by stories untold.
**Timber wolves** howl, under northern lights,
**Prairie winds** whisper, through endless nights.
**Mounties ride**, with honor and pride,
**Our heritage blooms**, in every stride.
(Pre-Chorus)
**From the Maritimes' shores**, to Yukon's gold,
**We're bound by more than borders**, we hold.
**In the heart of the True North**, we find our home,
**Our deep roots**, like ancient tomes.
(Chorus)
**Oh, Canada**, land of dreams,
**Where the maple leaves dance**, in sunbeams.
**From hockey rinks** to **poutine streams**,
**Our roots intertwine**, in this grand scheme.
(Verse 2)
**First Nations' wisdom**, whispers through time,
**French and English**, a harmonious rhyme.
**Maple syrup rivers**, sweet and divine,
**We're a mosaic of cultures**, under the same sign.
**Beavers build**, with tireless might,
**Geese fly south**, in their V-shaped flight.
**Northern lights**, a celestial ballet,
**Our deep roots**, forever sway.
(Pre-Chorus)
**From the Rockies' peaks**, to **Atlantic tides**,
**We're more than just provinces**, side by side.
**In the warmth of the prairies**, and **Arctic snow**,
**Our stories**, like embers, glow.
(Chorus)
**Oh, Canada**, land of dreams,
**Where the maple leaves dance**, in sunbeams.
**From hockey rinks** to **poutine streams**,
**Our roots intertwine**, in this grand scheme.
(Bridge)
**Boreal forests**, where moose roam free,
**Canoe paddles**, on tranquil lakes we see.
**Multicultural feasts**, from east to west,
**Our deep roots**, in unity rest.
(Interlude)
**Loons call**, across mirrored lakes,
**Mountains echo**, the songs we make.
**In the land of the maple**, we stand tall,
**Our roots**, a bridge for all.
(Chorus)
**Oh, Canada**, land of dreams,
**Where the maple leaves dance**, in sunbeams.
**From hockey rinks** to **poutine streams**,
**Our roots intertwine**, in this grand scheme.
(Outro)
**In the land of the maple**, we find our grace,
**Our deep roots**, a legacy we embrace.
**Oh, Canada**, sublime and true,
**Our anthem**, sung by me and you.
