lyrics

They were the sons of Canada They heard the call for to obey
They heard the call for souls away
They were the ones from old St. John’s

Right under the guns.
They fell freeing France, they stood in Hong Kong
They stand for peace, and getting along
They stand for hope, in the darkness gone long
They stand on guard, true north free and strong.
