A Canadian Environmental Anthem

[INTRO — soft piano, acoustic guitar]

We see the beautiful trees,
Blue skies and waters running free.
Lakes and rivers, land and sea,
A home for you, a home for me.

Taking care of our planet,
Taking care of each other too.
That's the way it ought to be,
That's the Canada we choose.

[VERSE 1]

We see a fragile world today,
And now we're opening our eyes.
The forests call, the waters speak,
The changing seasons tell us why.

Every choice we make today
Can help to shape tomorrow's way.
Less waste, more care, a brighter road,
A better future begins to unfold.

[PRE-CHORUS — building]

From the ground beneath our feet
To the endless sky of blue,
Every little step we take
Can make a difference too.

[CHORUS — full band]

No planet B, no place to run,
This is our home, our only one.
Through the floods, the fires and rain,
Together we can heal again.

For the environment,
For public health and safety too,
For a stronger economy,
For Canada—me and you.

[VERSE 2]

Billions of paper receipts,
There's a better way to see.
Less paper, less waste each day,
More possibilities.

A simple digital choice
Can help us change the way we do.
Businesses and communities,
Working for a future new.

Cleaner choices, safer ways,
Technology with care.
When innovation serves our people,
Hope is everywhere.

[PRE-CHORUS — building]

Canadians, side by side,
With determination as our guide.
For the trees, the water, air,
Canadian innovation shows we care.

[CHORUS — full band]

No planet B, no place to run,
This is our home, our only one.
Through the floods, the fires and rain,
Together we can heal again.

For the environment,
For public health and safety too,
For a stronger economy,
For Canada—me and you.

[VERSE 3 — hopeful, stronger]

Now a digital path can help
Us carry on together.
Connecting people, businesses,
And building something better.

Save resources, reduce waste,
Create opportunity.
Let Canadian innovation
Shape the future we can see.

A stronger way of doing things,
A brighter way ahead.
When caring meets technology,
Let hope become our thread.

[BRIDGE — music drops; intimate vocal]

What if kindness could be action?
What if action could be change?
What if every choice we make
Could help tomorrow rearrange?

What if technology could serve us,
Not just faster—but more wisely?
What if doing better for our world
Could help us advance together?

[BUILD — strings and voices enter]

For the trees...
For the water...
For the air we breathe...

For our children...
Our communities...
For the Canada we believe.

[FINAL CHORUS — ANTHEMIC]

No planet B, no place to run,
This is our home, our only one.
From the forests to the sea,
The future starts with you and me.

For the environment,
For public health and safety,
For Canadian innovation,
For a stronger economy.

Side by side, together,
We can make tomorrow new.
A cleaner, safer Canada,
A healthier Canada too—
For me and you.

[FINAL REFRAIN — choir]

We see dreams in green and blue,
A strong and healthy Canada
For me and you.

Environmental stewardship,
Where kindness meets digital.
Smarter, safer, sustainable.

We see hope in what we do,
Inspiringly Canadian,
For me and you.

[OUTRO — piano and acoustic guitar]

For Canada...
For tomorrow...
For me and you.
