Canada Day Lyrics

Canada Day ( Fete du Canada) we celebrate every year

The birthday of our nation, when July 1st is here

Back in 1867 by the British North America Act

A federation of four provinces by law did enact

Nova Scotia and New Brunswick , Ontario and Quebec

Their union formed our nation, and government to elect

Today is her birthday, Canada Day is here

July the first we'll celebrate each and every year

Faces painted red and white, Canadian flags you see

Fireworks, parades and concerts in every community

Most of us came from somewhere, Canada took us in

We fled wars and persecution our freedom to win

Not without sacrifice, risking everything to be

In this peaceful caring land, full of opportunity

Generations laid her groundwork, now it's up to us

To keep her strong and healthy, kind and generous

Today is her birthday, Canada Day is here

July the first we'll celebrate each and every year

Faces painted red and white, Canadian flags you see

Fireworks, parades and concerts in every community

She's our country, belongs to you and me

Wherever we are, in our hearts, she will always be

You know you are Canadian, if you feel a sense of pride

Seeing that flag flying high, red maple leaf inside

She can cause a lump in your throat, or make you teery eyed

Her sight evokes emotions, that you cannot hide

Today is her birthday, Canada Day is here

July the first we'll celebrate each and every year

Faces painted red and white, Canadian flags you see

Fireworks, parades and concerts in every community

Yes today is her birthday Canada Day is here

July the first we'll celebrate each and every year

July the first we'll celebrate each and every year

Yes Canada Day is here
