Song For Canada - Ian & Sylvia

How come we can’t talk to each other any more

Why can’t you see I’m changing too

We’ve got by far too long to end it feeling wronged

And I still share too much with you

Just one great river always flowing to the sea

One single river rolling in eternity

Two nations in the land that lies along its shore

But just one river rolling free

How come you shut me out as if I wasn’t there

What’s this new bitterness you’ve found?

However wronged you were, however strong it hurt

It wasn’t me that held you down

Why can’t you understand I’m glad you’re standing proud

I know you made it on your own

But in this pride you’ve earned

I thought you might have learned

That you don’t have to stand alone

Lonely northern rivers come together till you see

One single river rolling in eternity

Two nations in the land that lies along its shore

But just one river, you and me
