She writes in French she dreams in Cree
Her lullabies float over sea
Her mother sings of snow and flame
Her father carves in sacred name
She wears her braids with city boots
And questions deep her tangled roots
But in her heart a fire grows
Of where shes from and where she goes
Her teachers say define your path
But she would rather build a graph
With every thread that life will weave
She finds new truths she dares believe
O Canada you let her grow
In lands that hold both sun and snow
She is the futuresoft yet wise
A bridge beneath your open skies
