TimeKeepers Canada

Some of the people in our group of friends from TimeKeepers Canada are musicians. We have seen Canada from one end to the other and here are the lyrics to one of our projects.
Sail Away
Well I am a man, who sailed upon the waters
Of the greatest seas that touch this growing land
Have you ever seen
The ones who rise in morning
With a look there in their hearts
Now yes we can
But there are ones who feel the change
Would do the world of good
And fair enough
You have that right my friend
But is it worth the gamble
And is it worth the price
Of losing something you many never find again
Well I am a man who rode across the prairies
On the topside of a boxcar from your past
They were troubled times
Back there in the 30s
But we stuck it out together
Till the last
Lonely days were over
And brighter days had come
We'd learned so many lessons
Now look what we've become
Faces shine as the thunder rules the mountains
Who was here before the settlers made their way
When I look at all the years of war
We've been through
Those men lived and died
For what we have today
Well I am a man whose flown across the mountains
From the north down to the cities of the south
Have you ever been
To some far distant country
And come home to see what life is all about
Now look what lies around you
And don't take it for granted
Cause once it's gone
It 's very hard to find
Like waiting for the shadow
Of the land to touch the shoreline
Anything that's worth it just takes time
Sail away
Down upon the ocean
Sail Away
High into the sky
You're the one
Canada we're waiting
For the ships to come
And take you home
