I'm dreaming of Canada tonight.
A country where mountains and hopes touch the sky
A country where an ocean of kindness fills all hearts
A country where ideas are a forest of wisdom
Oh God let me wake up in Canada!

I'm dreaming of Canada tonight.
A country where compassion is as tall as a douglas fir
A country where understanding is as deep as a great lake
A country where confidence grows like grain
Oh God let me wake up in Canada!

I'm dreaming of Canada tonight.
A country where happiness flows like the water of a river
A country where love is a breath of fresh air
A country where peace covers the land like snow
Oh God, please let me wake up in Canada, tonight ...

Thanks Mimi for remembering Canada Day.  Very nice ideals expressed in the poem...now if only we could truly live up to them all.  As someone who will definitely be waking up in Canada tonight, I'm glad that I'm here and of all the places I've visited and lived in my  life this seems like the best fit so far.
