lyrics

Canadian Heroes 05:01

I’d like to thank David Suzuki
For teaching me about ecology
Your faith in our human potential
All your work has been essential
Great earth defender Suzuki-san
I thank you
I want to know which Canadians are heroes
I want to know in whom to believe
I want to thank you Ms Naomi Klein
For having opened up my eyes in time
No choice, no space, and no employment
Another misguided deployment
We have to fight for life’s enjoyment
For this I thank you
I want to know which Canadians are heroes
I want to know in whom to believe
I’d like to thank you Richard Fadden
For having given us this warning
You say our leaders may betray us
(traitors in the legislature)
Might let the enemy enslave us
(politicians and corporations)
CSIS director Richard Fadden
(standing on guard for all the nation)
I thank you
Would have loved to
see the face on Stephen Harper
When that report came out
which you had authored
Would have loved to
see the face on Kathleen Wynne
When the Globe and Mail said it was Minister Chan
Cause your mechanic might be the engineer
Who’ll change the planet
For the good of all life here
There’s a girl next door
With a cause worth fighting for
Inspiring more than you ever saw before
