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
