Fancy hotel rooms

Windows with a view

Staring into nothing

I thought I saw you

Your colours dancing in my mind

But they were only neon signs

Oh canada

I'm trying to find you

Will you wait for me.



There's people on the street

I know I'll never meet

I wonder what they're thinking

What their dreams are

But they just keep on walking by

I can see the questions in their eyes

Oh canada

You're a tree among towers

Just starting to climb

Please don't grow too quickly now

Don't leave us all behind



Pages of progress start to turn

Too quickly and the pages burn

Let's hope that we don't learn - too late

Let's hope it's never too late to learn

No don't let the madness wash you way.



Life keeps rolling by

Before it goes I'll try

To be stronger - to be wiser

Maybe just understand

What makes people fight to survive

While by themselves they slowly sigh



Oh canada -

Where are you going

Will you wait for me

Oh canada

I'm trying to find you

Will you wait for me
