There is something about the stainless steel Canadian that for many of us stood as a metaphor for the
Canadian dream.
THE CANADIAN DREAM
The symbol is the maple leaf, from sea to shining
sea, ten provinces of grandeur, three great territories.
Inside there’s something special. When you leave, it
breaks your heart. The maple leaf is a reminder, from
its soul you cannot part. Its that feeling of freedom,
many an immigrant has known, a vision at the end of
the day tells you, Canada is home. You can fly off to
Timbuktu, cruise the world in luxury, but that country
called Canada is where my heart will always be!
There’s a train a coming, can’t you hear that
sound, there’s a train a coming, round and round.
There’s a train a coming round the bend. Its called the
Canadian dream. They come from Scotland, Ireland
and Hong Kong, India, Poland, singing their song.
Cause they know that their customs will always be
retained. Can’t you hear the sound of that train.
Its called the Canadian dream. We’ve come a long
way, folks but there’s still a way to go, especially for
our First Nations and Black communities. As long as
we remember, and never forget, the dreams of Dr.
Martin Luther King and our Tommy Douglas and
many others, their dreams will all soon come TRUE.
