The Maple Trees Remember
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In days of yore from foreign shores
The royal minions came
And planted firm their feckless flags
On such a fair domain
It marked the beginnings of the end
Of those who first were there
The cultures and a people proud
Were lost forevermore
The maple tree who once stood strong
Come gather round and sing this song together
Forget their queen and all she mans
The Maple Tree
The Maple Tree Remember
Protect the weak and show the strength
Of natural cathedrals in paradise
Above which shine
The northern lights
The way we are, remember?
Mountains and prairies
From sea to sea
Blue unending skies
If you spy those endless skies
A hungry eagle flies
Oh Canada your forests stood
for 250 million moons
with axe and saw
they hacked you down
the end will be here soon
The marathon of greed decreed
Those traitors made it all clear
Majestic trees who once grew tall
Were doomed to disappear
