lyrics

There still is a place up in Kingsville they say,
But man and his machinery will soon come their way.
We must find some time, and do more than pray,
To help save the wild birds . . . we must not delay!
‘Cause they’re Canada’s geese, they’re a long way from home,
Travellin’ with fear of the men below.
Strong on the wing,
young Jack heard them sing,
Godspeed, mother nature . . . let her children go!
Now the whales and the seals deserve a place to play,
And we are their brothers in nature’s own way.
But those high flying wild birds, the lords of the sky,
Are a great majestic treasure, no one can deny!
Yes they’re Canada’s geese, they’re a long way from home,
Travellin’ with fear of the men below.
Strong on the wing,
young Jack heard them sing,
Godspeed, mother nature . . . let her children go!
Yes they’re Canada’s geese, they’re a long way from home,
A symbol for Peace on Earth, seen from below.
Strong on the wing,
young Jack heard them sing,
Godspeed, mother nature . . . let her children go!

John Spearn Edmonton, Alberta

You’ll instantly catch these deep influences threaded through John’s fine vocals, lyrics, and rootsy, guitar-mastered songwriting works. This is pure Canadiana: forgotten but deserving heroes, the humility in our international image, and a superb range of tender ballads through to raw, foot-stompin’ stories that need to be told. ... more
