| He was carried from the water by a soldier
|
| And the picture screams a thousand different words
|
| He was running from the terror with his father
|
| Who once believed that nothing could be worse
|
| So he’d handed a man two thousand precious dollars
|
| The way you’d rest a bird in a lion’s open jaw
|
| And he told the boys that Canada was waiting
|
| That there was hope upon her golden shores
|
| But at night he said a quiet prayer into the wind
|
| Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
|
| Won’t you open up your arms towards the sea?
|
| Oh Canada, if you could help me out
|
| All I ever wanted was a safe place for my family
|
| Well the days were long but the nights were even longer
|
| And the baby boys never left their mothers' side
|
| But the boat was small and the waves were getting stronger
|
| And they began to fear they’d not survive
|
| Till the father said «We gotta hold each other tighter
|
| I’m not losing everything I love tonight
|
| And we’ve come so far I know that out there somewhere
|
| There’s a place we won’t have to fear for our lives»
|
| But as he held onto the side of the boat he looked up at the sky
|
| Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
|
| Won’t you open up your arms towards the sea
|
| Oh my Canada, if you could help me out
|
| The sea is turning and I think we’re going down
|
| Ohhhh
|
| Canada if you can hear me now,
|
| Won’t you open up your heart towards the sea
|
| Ohhhh
|
| Anyone, please help me out
|
| All I ever wanted was a safe place for my family
|
| There’s a million ways to justify your fear
|
| There’s a million ways to measure out your worth
|
| But the body of Alan being laid upon the sand
|
| Tell me how do we live with that? |
