They All Call it Canada
(source: "Jubilee Songbook", Girl Guides of Canada, 1971.)

Side by side and step by step

Our fathers were marching along

They were building a road to the future

With a spade and a smile and a song.

Out of the wildness and out of the sand

Grew the land that we live in today.

Though the job to be done has barely begun,

There is one thing I'm proud to say:

My country is my cathedral

The northern sky its dome

They all call it Canada

But I call it home

The mountains, the lakes and valleys

Are friends that I have known

They all call it Canada

But I call it home

From the Atlantic to the Pacific

From the pole to the U.S.A.

We're on united brotherhood

And united we will stay

The people across the border

And far across the foam

They all call it Canada

But I call it home
