Canada Lights
Daphne Loubser
Lyrics
Canada, you open like a horizon wide,
Snow on the peaks and the ocean on the side.
From quiet lakes that mirror the sky,
To city lights that hum as the hours fly.
Canada, you’re a postcard I can walk inside,
Big-hearted views with nowhere to hide.
Every road feels like it knows my name,
Every skyline leaves me changed the same
Canada, you glow like home in motion,
Mountains to the sea, pure open ocean.
Rockies rising Banff in the distance clear,
Icefields Parkway pulling the world more near.
Niagara thunder, mist in the air,
Like the earth saying, “Look life is right there.”
Canada, you’re a postcard I can walk inside,
Big-hearted views with nowhere to hide.
Every road feels like it knows my name,
Every skyline leaves me changed the same
Canada, you glow like home in motion,
Mountains to the sea, pure open ocean.
CN Tower watching over midnight streets,
Harbor water catching neon beats.
Cabot Trail curves where the cliffs run long,
And the wind writes verses I can’t get wrong.
Out where the prairies stretch like a steady song,
Where the sky stays brave and the days feel long,
Up north Yukon hush, the wide night’s art,
And the Northern Lights start stirring my heart.
Canada, you’re a postcard I can walk inside,
Big-hearted views with nowhere to hide.
From falls that roar to forests that calm,
You’re wild and warm in the same soft palm
Canada, you glow like home in motion,
From open roads to that endless ocean.
