They Wondered free
Amongst the trees
And out in the open
To catch a breeze
They were a symbol
Of freedom you see
Here long before you and me
There is a ballad song
A sad state it shares
When a beggar cries out...
'Don't ask for so much"
The face on our quarter
Is really a discgrace - why remember
How we wrecked this place
Greed has an ugly face
Our First Nations brothers
Tilled this soil with an invisible hoe
Live and let live - I've heard them say
And the Caribou... will always stay
