Fancy hotel rooms Windows with a view Staring into nothing I thought I saw you Your colours dancing in my mind But they were only neon signs Oh Canada I'm trying to find you Will you wait for me There's people on the street I know I'll never meet I wonder what they're thinking What their dreams are But they just keep on walking by I can see the questions in their eyes Oh Canada You're a tree among towers Just starting to climb Please don't grow too quickly now Don't leave us all behind Pages of progress start to turn Too quickly and the pages burn Let's hope that we don't learn - too late Let's hope it's never too late to learn No don't let the madness wash you way Life keeps rolling by Before it goes I'll try To be stronger - to be wiser Maybe just understand What makes people fight to survive While by themselves they slowly sigh Oh Canada Where are you going Will you wait for me Oh Canada I'm trying to find you Will you wait for me
