(Verse 1)
In the cold of the night, under northern lights,
I left my home for a chance at new heights.
Dreaming of Canada, land of promise and gold,
But the truth hit hard, I felt lost and cold.
(Pre-Chorus)
Broken dreams on foreign shores,
Struggling to find what I'm searching for.
Every step I take feels like sinking sand,
Is this the place where dreams expand?
(Chorus)
Oh Canada, you're not what I thought,
Every day's a battle, every battle's fought.
From the icy winds to the streets of despair,
I'm lost in a land that doesn't seem to care.
(Verse 2)
I toiled and I tried, but it's never enough,
In this land of maple, where dreams can be tough.
The promises whispered now seem like lies,
As I watch my hopes slowly die.
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm drowning in disillusionment,
In this land where dreams are bent.
Is there a place where I can finally stand,
And feel the warmth of a welcoming hand?
(Chorus)
Oh Canada, you're not what I thought,
Every day's a battle, every battle's fought.
From the icy winds to the streets of despair,
I'm lost in a land that doesn't seem to care.
(Bridge)
But in the depths of my darkest night,
I see a beacon shining bright.
A land where dreams can soar high,
In the land of stars and stripes in the sky.
(Chorus)
Oh USA, land of opportunity,
Where dreams can thrive, where I can be free.
Or maybe Spain, where the sun kisses the sea,
Anywhere but here, where I long to be free.
(Outro)
So goodbye Canada, it's time to move on,
To chase my dreams until they're finally won.
I'll search for a place where I can belong,
In a land where my heart can sing its song.
