Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Wake up, raise the curtains From your deep provincial eyes. Speak up, for I am certain That it's no disguise. 'Cause soldiers stopping traffic Couldn't keep these wheels at bay; Their guns smoked, then the sun broke, And we hauled away. And mothers of the country take two flags and make a sail. We'll sail the big dominion. This song is falling... And did you get my message On the People's Radio? I wrote it in Alberta Across the prairie spine. And I'd rather jump the borders That trail from east to west And get the booking agent To find another band. I built my rocket in a shed. I'm going to launch it at the sun. I'm going to launch it from my pad. Oh, could I get this? It's my northern wish. Meanwhile in the forest In a parliament of trees, The ink will crack and dry all up, But the compass will swing anyways. And we don't need mathematics And we don't need submarines To tell how far that the land does go... Till it hits the shore. Wake up, raise the curtains From your deep provincial eyes. Speak out, for I am certain This song is over. (Land ho!)
