To my dedicated Canadian readers

Like this'll be anything of real interest, but so you know, I learned your anthem a long time ago. But not the melody in which it is sung. However, since I am leaving for your country in a mere two days, I vow to learn how to sing it precisely for when I arrive.

O Canada!

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
