| I didn't really like my first version so I re-wrote it. The piper plays a Lament Eight bear the weight Of the Coffin draped In the Red and White And She weeps At the slow march they step For the Comrade who's fallen The Journey begins For the True North is calling And She Weeps. Always accompan'd By a Brother in Arms Never alone on the Last Journey Home And She Weeps. Soon the roar, then the leap To the Heavens, Homing West to the setting sun Chasing the afterglow into the night Straight on til morning When Dawn sheds her light For Canada awaits Her Hero, Her Child And She Weeps. |

| english; Damn straight it's Canadian and if I were Brit or Dutch, or American it would be that. I think and pray to my Creator everyday for all the troops in Afghanistan they are never far from my thoughts. I Love my Country as much as you Love yours and I am the first to admit that I am EXTREMELY BIASED when it comes to Canada.   THe Maple Leaf Forever. Camac. |
