Lyrics
Becoming Canadian
I came from a land, ruled by a few
Where only poverty and violence grew
Indoor plumbing, electricity???
These things- so new to me
Tears of joy- swept over me
Coming here - from across the sea
Knowing how lucky-that I am
Arriving in-this wondrous land
Oh Canada-I did sing
Magic words- in my ears did ring
The oath as well-I did say
Becoming Canadian-on that day
Tears of joy- swept over me
Coming here - from across the sea
Knowing how lucky-that I am
Arriving in-this wondrous land
Changing my life-my thinking too
So many things-to learn and do
I learned the language-I learned to write
Working at it -day and night
Tears of joy- swept over me
Coming here - from across the sea
Knowing how lucky-that I am
Arriving in-this wondrous land
Never ever-did I dare to dream
I'd be safe, happy and clean
Living in a house-soon I will own
In this land-I now call home
Tears of joy- swept over me
Coming here - from across the sea
Knowing how lucky-that I am
Arriving in-this wondrous land
Oh she is a wondrous land
