Sing a Song of Canada

Chorus:
Sing a song of Canada,
let your spirit show,
send your voice across the land,
and let the whole world know,
it's a land of endless beauty,
of people proud and free,
so,
Sing a song of Canada,
our home from sea to sea.

It's a song of crowded seagulls,
and mountains towering high,
gentle hills and rolling praries,
beneath the Northern skies.
Woodlands, lakes and rivers,
so much variety,
mountains, lakes and seagulls,
blended all in harmony.

CHORUS

Its a song of friendly people,
who built this land, who tried,
many races, creeds and colours,
all working side my side.
Farms and towns and cities,
so much diversity,
Our culture almost blended,
blending all in harmony.

CHORUS

Sing Along Here!

Walk Around

Rivers that sparkle,
and rush along free,
forrests so tall and green,
dressed in their finery,
Canada fair,
none are as lucky as we.

Chorus
Ah, Walk around,
look around,
take the time to say,
how lucky I am that I live in this land,
of Canada today.

All kinds of people from far away lands,
landed in True North,
Customs and cultures we're willing to share,
as true Canadians.

CHORUS

Pioneers suffered to settle this land,
the new world was its name,
fairness and freedom they wanted for all,
let's live up to what they claim.

CHORUS

Miles of highway are ours to explore,
an ever changing view,
four different season we know and enjoy,
for the richly, weak or poor.

Guide Law Song

I challenge myself to the Guiding law,
to be honest, and true,
to be wise in the use of resources I have,
to respect myself and others too.

To know and to use my gifts and skills,
to respect my common world.
With the courage and strength,
that we share in the joys,
of the Guiding sisterhood!

Our Chalet

High up,
high on the mountain,
we founded our Chalet.
High up,
high on the mountain,
we founded our Chalet.

Its sloping roof and wide,
shall shelter us,
without a care,
and each Girl Scout and Guide,
shall find a welcome there.

High up,
high on the mountain,
we'll go to our Chalet.
High up,
high on the mountain,
we'll go to our Chalet.

Our simple life is free,
our hearts are light,
our songs are gay!
We ever shall remember,
the choice of our Chalet.

High up,
high on the mountain,
we founded our Chalet.
High up,
high on the mountain,
we founded our Chalet.

And this,
its dedication shall never fail,
nor be undone!
Each race, each creed, each nation,
beneath its roof are one.

Softly Falls The Light Of Day

Softly falls the light of day,
as our campfire fades away.
Silently each Guide should ask,
have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honour bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
everything to be prepared?

Sing along here!

Sangam Song

The symbol of one,
the Sangam is our pride.
Though love and affection,
don't change like the tide.
Regardless of colour,
religion or creed.
To spread benevolence,
we're sowing the seed.

Guides of all nations,
together we stand,
with goodwill and friendship,
unite in our band.
To help the weak and aged,
we make ourselves strong.
To gain inspiration,
we always sing this song.

SANGAM OH SANGAM!
Symbol of oneness.

On My Honour

On My Honour,
I will try,
There’s a duty to be done,
And I say aye,
There’s a reason here,
For a reason above,
My honour is to try,
And my duty is to love.

No one needs to know my name,
If I’ve hurt someone,
Then I’m to blame.
If I’ve helped someone,
Then I’ve helped me,
And that’s the way,
That it should be.

I’ve tucked away a song or two,
If you’re feeling low,
There’s on for you.
If you need a friend,
Then I will come.
There’s plenty more,
Where I come from.

Come with me where the fire burns bright,
We can even see better,
By its own light,
We can find more meaning,
In a campfire glow,
Than we’ve ever found in a year or so.

We’ve a promise,
To always keep,
And sing day is done,
Before we sleep,
We’re Girl Guides together,
And when we’re gone,
We’ll still be a trying,
and a singing this song.

On my honour,
I will try,
There’s a duty to be done,
And I say aye,
There’s a reason here,
For a reason above,
My honour is to try,
And my duty is to love.

Sing Along Here!
