Welcome to my country

Welcome to my country
Land where Freedom sprang.
Freedom grew in heroes' hearts
And down the ages rang.

Welcome to my country
Land of fleeing deer
And men who had no master
None but God to fear.

Welcome to my country
Land where eagles fly.
It was not for gold or glory
Staunch Wallace went to die.

Welcome to my country
Kingdom held by Bruce.
He stood against proud Edward
And never sought a truce.

Welcome to my country
Home of Barrie, Burns and Scott.
The magic of their writing is
On generations wrought.

Welcome to my country
Of Fleming, Bell and Baird.
Their lightning flash of genius
With all mankind was shared.

Welcome to my country
Her heroes now are gone.
They've left their gifts of Freedom,
Enlightenment and song.

So welcome to my country,
Though Stranger now you stand.
Take these gifts so precious,
They're given with open hand.
