Canada...WAKE UP! Look behind you, your history's creeping Canada...WAKE UP! It's far too exciting for you to be sleeping A totally awesome selection of heroes. Terry Fox was a hero Laura Secord warned us of a sneak attack And Rene Levesque each day smoke a whole other pack Oscar Peterson grooves us now that Trudeau's resigned Take a look at their lives, it will blow your mind! Stop in your tracks but don't relax Try to pause to think, check out the facts You've got Jacques and Gilles and Guy Phil Margaret Atwood, [??] Canadian people who are forever gonna be the heroes. Canada...WAKE UP! Ask your mother, I'll bet that she knows A totally massive plethora of heroes.
Canada...WAKE UP! There's a hero in every story Canada...WAKE UP! Some are left wing and some are Tory A totally awesome selection of heroes. What makes someone a hero? Do you have to take a special course in school? Or maybe save Grandad's life when he's fallen into the pool? You've heard all about Superman, he's just a cartoon But there's real superheroes and real things they were doin' Once again we've got the story of the heroes No flashy stars, no {???} like Robert DeNiro's Different faces, different races Working hard in different places Canada...WAKE UP! We've to Metis and mountainclimbers Canada...WAKE UP! Farmers, Hippies and Maritimers A totally massive plethora of heroes.
Canada...WAKE UP! You've probably got heroes next door Canada...WAKE UP! So what do we need this show for? To show you an awesome selection of heroes What makes someone a hero? Do you have to win a war or build a fort? Or maybe invent the phone, or win the gold in some sport? Laurier straddled the Solitudes, Wayne and Schuster wore slacks Our heroes give blood, then pay income tax. Now and then, give yourself some time to think about Your own heritage, {???} {???} to store, from shore to shore, from rich to working poor Celebrate and don't berate All the women and men who made this nation great Not just fancy cars and movie stars {???} Canadian people who are forever gonna be the heroes. Canada...WAKE UP! Ask your uncle, I'll bet that he knows A totally massive plethora of heroes.
