They All Call It Canada

Side by side and step by step,
Our fathers were marching along.
They were building a road to the future,
With a spade and a smile and a song.

Out of the wildness,
and out of the sand,
grew the land that we live in today.
Though the job to be done,
has barely begun,
here is one thing I'm proud to say.

My Country,
is my cathedral,
the Northern sky its dome!
They all call it Canada,
but I call it home.

The mountains,
the lakes,
the valleys,
are friends I have known.
They all call it Canada,
but I call it home.

From the Atlantic,
to the Pacific!
From the pole,
to the USA!
We're one united brotherhood,
and united we will stay!

The people beyond our boarders,
and far across the foam,
they all call it Canada,
but I call it home.

On The Loose

Have you ever watched a sunrise,
turn the sky completely red?
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars,
a pine cone for your bed?
Do you sit and talk with friends,
though not a word is ever said?
Than you're just like me,
and you've been,
On the loose.

Chorus:
On the loose to climb a mountain,
On the loose where I am free,
On the loose to live my life the way,
I think my life should be,
for I've only got a moment,
and the whole world yet to see.
I'll be looking for tomorrow,
On the loose.

There's a trail that I'll be hiking,
just to see where it might go,
many places yet to visit,
many people yet to know,
for in following my dreams,
I will live and I will go.
In a world that's waiting out there,
On the loose.

CHORUS

So in search of love and laughter,
I am travelling 'cross this land,
never sure of where I'm going,
for I haven't any plans,
and in time when you are ready,
come and join me,
take my hand,
and together we'll share what's out there,
On the loose.

CHORUS

Sing Along Here!

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!

Like an Eagle

Born in the mountains,
the wind blowing free,
given by nature the wisdom to see,
power to heal and the strength to command,
child of our native land.

Chorus:
Fly far, like the eagle,
Be strong, like the eagle,
Soar high, like the eagle,
Live long, like the eagle,
When we come together in harmony,
like the eagle,
We'll be strong and free.

Circling and heeling and timing the sky,
looking at life through a far seeing eye,
searching and seeking and finding it there,
spirit of earth and air.

CHORUS

One sky above us, and one earth below,
life all around us and things that we know,
nothing to shadow the light of the sun,
everywhere we are one.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

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!

Everywhere Around the World

Everywhere around the world tonight,
Guides are singing,
'round the campfire light.

Sing along here!

Pax Lodge Song

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

And with our sisters by our side,
we learn to lead, we learn to guide,
we clear the path, we pave the way,
to peace on earth, to a brighter day.

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

Sometimes the road,
is hard and long,
and yet together we are strong,
and as we weave life's tapestry,
each colour blends in harmony.

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

Wherever we wander,
wherever we rome,
Pax Lodge will always be our home,
a place where strangers soon are friends,
I'll meet you there where the rainbow ends.

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

We wish you love,
we wish you light,
we wish you colours soft and bright,
we wish you light,
we wish you love,
we wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

Our Cabana

'Neath the grand Sierra Madre,
on a plain in Mexico,
lies our beautiful Cabana,
where Girl Scouts and Guides go.

So come then to see the mountains,
the cactus and sunny skies,
hear the cricket in the evening,
see the white moon arise.

When you see the warm red roofs,
you think of hearts that glow with cheer,
and the walls of sturdy stone work,
stand for friendship so dear.

Each day there is filled with laughter,
each evening is filled with song,
and our stay at our Cabana,
gives us memories life long.

When we go to our Cabana,
we will find ourselves at home,
there's a greeting smile so friendly,
and a handshake so warm.

So come now to our Cabana,
world friendship to increase,
and carry to your homeland,
international peace.

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.

Make New Friends

Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,
and the other's gold.

A circle's round,
it has no end.
That's how long,
I want to be your friend.

I have a hand,
and you have another,
put them together,
and we have each other.

Make new friends,
but keep the old,
one is silver,
and the other's gold.

This song can be sung as a round.

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.

One Tin Soldier

Listen children,
to a story,
that was written long ago,
'bout a kingdom on a mountain,
and the valley folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure,
buried deep beneath the stone,
and the valley people swore,
they'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
go ahead and cheat a friend,
do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgement day,
on the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley,
sent a message up the hill,
asking for the buried treasure,
tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
with our brothers we will share,
all the secrets of our mountain,
all the riches buried there.

Now the valley cried with anger,
Mount your horses! Draw your swords!
And they killed the mountain people,
so they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
on the mountain,
dark and red,
turned the stone and looked beneath it,
Peace on earth,
was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
go ahead and cheat a friend,
do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgement day,
on the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.

Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
go ahead and cheat a friend,
do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgement day,
on the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.

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!
