我们更 好
由Shane Koyczan
当定义加拿大
你可能会列出一些统计数字
你可能会提到我国最高建筑
或最大的湖泊
您可能会动摇在秋天的树
一个红色的叶子，并呼吁加拿大
你可能会背出一些名人
可能提到巴菲圣玛丽
甚至提到，我们已经有一些事实
裸体淑女
或者说我们做这些疯狂的事
像拉链
电动车
和洗衣机
当定义加拿大
它似乎是世界上国歌已
“在那里做的”
也许这正是我们曾经在
这是真的
我们所做的，我们一直在
我们已经看到了
所有伟大的主题得到机器所吞噬
，变成主题公园
但是当定义加拿大
不要忘记提及我们已经设置火花
我们不只是钓鱼的故事
关于那个跑掉
我们不只是坐在这里说“是吗？”
是的
我们是火箭的一大家
谁启发小数目花枝招展
和小数目九十花枝招展
但我们不只是线条更曲棍球和渔业
关闭的岩石海岸的滨海
有人说，我们的定义是什么
就是这么简单的东西如请和谢谢
至于你们不客气
我们说好太
但我们更
比教养或文明
我们是在这个过程中的想法
被实现
我们还年轻
我们串成文化
然后织成挂毯
与设计
是什么使我们更
比我们的历史总和
我们是一个实验持续了一个变更权
与影响范围，从零碳
是的，我们说零碳，而不是徐
我们是唐人街的颜色和小意大利咖啡
我们的梦想如此之大，有那些
我们的目标谁称之为一个行业
因为我们比粘枫糖浆和更清洁的雪
我们不仅是在种植小麦和啤酒酿造
我们是好年景好年后的葡萄园
我们清楚，我们再造林
因为我们相信我们自己的后代以后
知道现在，我们那么多
长大过去曾经被认为是
我们今天可以站在这里
与所有的希望都坐满了人
当他们说这样的话：“有朝一日”
总有一天，我们会很棒
总有一天我们会是这样的
或
总有一天，我们会在一个点
当哪天是昨天
与我们的愿望都将支付方式
对于那些谁当日
望明天
他们说，有一天，仍然
我们将达到我们设定的目标
我们将获得的灵感利益
因为我们比一群鲸鱼观察者和伐木工国家更
多背包和登山步道
我们是锤子和钉子修桥
对那些谁愿意走过
我们是失物招领谁所有这些发现可能会发现自己处于亏损
我们不是看到通过光泽或魅力
是谁叫嚣对他人的失败的
我们是兄弟姐妹的父亲和母亲
叔叔阿姨和侄女和侄子
我们是堂兄弟
我们发现失踪拼图
我们在餐桌上与新移民家庭房
我们比夏天和冬天
多比和淡季
我们是人民的原因有希望留
因为我们比我们说什么或做
我们活到闯过我们经历了什么
并了解我们是谁
我们是学生
谁的学生对学习studiousness研究
所以我们知道什么以及为什么
我们并没有所有的答案
但是我们尽量
这样的努力是什么使我们更
我们不都知道它是我们在生活中寻找
所以不断探索
去远弗届
或深入进去，但
深入
因为如果詹姆斯卡梅隆拍摄续集的深渊
突然有此位置球探
试图找出一些出路
让你内心
因为你经历过地狱，高水
和你深入
不断探索
因为我们更
比一箩筐的事情要做和地方看到
我们比山滑雪
或乡村池塘滑冰
我们是毫不犹豫地抛弃那些谁不能等待
我们是一流的油腻，用餐勺和健康，生活咖啡馆
一个国家，是所有的方法你选择住
土地，可以给你各种
因为我们的选择
我们在千百万呼喊的声音
“不断探索...我们更”
我们是全世界刮目相看为你在商店
这是真的
加拿大是“什么”在“什么新东西？”
所以不要说“在那里做的”
除非你坐在人行道
而粉笔画家画静物
对一个具体的孩子在街上
口技尼尔杨的乐趣
不要说你去过那里做的
除非你在这里做
让这个国家成为你的急救包
所有的时候，你会生病的老样子，老
让我们的故事告诉给您的朋友
当这个故事结束
留到下一次你会回来的章节
对于所有的事情下次包
你没有收拾首次
但不要让你的行李定义您的旅行
每一个不同的生活揭开
和经验是什么弥补
我们的挂毯的颜色
我们是真正的北
强大和自由
什么更重要的
是，我们不只是说
我们作出这样。
