This song is available on Kim Soleski Ward's Sing a Song of Canada.
Sing of the courage of early explorers,
Traveling and mapping the way.
Jacques Cartier, John Cabot, too,
And the Great Lake voyages of Champlain.
Mackenzie searched for a path through the Rockies.
Sailed the river that bears his name.
Fearless adventurers, hearts of steel,
Exploring Canada.
Chorus
Alberta’s Rocky Mountains,
The Yukon’s highest peak,
The flat and golden prairie fields of wheat.
The cliffs of Baffin Island,
The rocky Canadian Shield,
Arctic tundra, Great Lake waters,
All in Canada
Chorus
Sing of all things truly Canadian,
Mounties in their uniforms of red,
Hockey games on frozen ponds,
The northern lights overhead.
Sing of the many people and languages,
Heard throughout the villages and towns.
Each one distinct and important to
The whole of Canada.
Chorus
