In the heart of this land, diverse and grand
We are the stories written in the sand
From every corner, every street and town
The spirit of Canada wears no crown
From bustling cities to the quiet mix
Every soul here has a chance to make
A mark upon this tapestry of dreams
Where every voice and face is what it seems
We are the people, the pulse of the land
Holding the dreams in our collective hands
In every story, every song we sing
We are the heartbeat of this living thing
From east to west and north to south
We share our hopes, we share our doubts
In every story, every song we sing
We are the heartbeat of this living thing
From east to west and north to south
We share our hopes, we share our doubts
In every festival and every fight
We find our strength in the common light
And when the world turns its gaze away
We show the warmth of our sunny days
Through every challenge, every tear
We stand together year after year
We are the people, the pulse of the land
Holding the dreams in our collective hands
In every story, every song we sing
We are the heartbeat of this living thing
In the faces of the young and old
In the tales of the brave and bold
We find the essence of who we are
Shining brightly like a northern star
We are the people, the pulse of the land
Holding the dreams in our collective hands
In every story, every song we sing
We are the heartbeat of this living thing
So here's to us, in all our forms
In every storm, through every norm
Together we rise, together we stand
The people of Canada, hand in hand
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And when the world turns its gaze away
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
We show the warmth of our sunny days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Through every challenge, every tear
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
We are the heartbeat of this living thing
Thanks for watching
