You, as a true Canadian,
Get up early in the morning.
The scarlet horizon radiance
Will show your country’s glory.
Step outside the threshold,
Be rapt by the living skies.
Your spirit is strong and bold
Raised by the fairy sunrise.
You see how the earth awakens
With the early bird’s cheery song.
The disk of the glowing lantern
Tells you the day will be long.
You are working as hard as aptly
Till you say, “Let’s call it a day”.
You are happy but tired badly
With the job brooking no delay.
