about

If this album were to truly have a maple flavour to it then it needed to have the ingredient of The Maple Leaf Forever.

lyrics

The Maple Leaf Forever

In days of yore, to this wild shore, French and British strangers came
And planted firm their conquerors’ flags, Where Native people’s reigned
In struggle and in hope they forged, A nation here together, That there might wave so proud and free, The Maple Leaf forever!

At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane, Our brave fathers, side by side, For freedom, homes and loved ones dear, fought hard and nobly died; For those dear rights which they maintained, We swear to yield them never! Our watchword evermore shall be, The Maple Leaf forever!

Through two World Wars in freedom’s cause, Brave Canadians fought and died
Now we their children guard the peace where hate and war divide
We’ll not break faith with glory’s past, The torch we’ll lower never!
A shining light to all the world, The Maple Leaf forever!
From Arctic Lands to Great Lakes Grand, Bay Despair to Nootka Sound; May patriot love unite us and true commonwealth be found

And may Canadians new and old, Uphold the great endeavour
That their might wave from sea to sea, The Maple Leaf forever!
The Maple Leaf our emblem dear, The Maple Leaf forever!
Long may it wave and God Defend,
The Maple Leaf forever!
