A Canadian Christmas (feat. Stu Harrison & Joanna Majoko) - Single
A Canadian Christmas
Snow capped roof tops paint a hushed tableau
Silhouetted branches frame twilight's glow
Gath'ring clouds sculpt rays from a scarlet sun
December's dawn greets everyone
Yuletide colours so ornate, so bright
Tinseled trees adorned with festive light
From Graham Island east through Labrador
Merry holidays are here once more
The snowflakes fall, the snowflakes rise
Tracing icy breezes through the skies
Carolers sing along with town brass bands
Decked halls and storefronts across the lands
Yuletide colours so ornate, so bright
Tinseled trees adorned with festive light
From Newfoundland west through Whitehorse
Seasons greetings to us all once more
Passing through my hometown streets
I contemplate the bittersweet-
-ness of these few short weeks of cheer
In a time so often wrought with fear
Despair returns when once again
Our world's distress consumes my thoughts, but then
I smile as I begin to see
These hometown streets reveal to me
The thriving peace that's here to find
In this nation cast from all humankind
All Earth's creeds and cultures, in plain sight
Now adorned with kindled hope so bright
From mountains' peaks, to prairies' plains
From big city blocks, to small town lanes
From arctic isles to the Great Lakes' shores
Christmas time in Canada is here once more
Silhouetted branches frame twilight's glow
Gath'ring clouds sculpt rays from a scarlet sun
December's dawn greets everyone
Yuletide colours so ornate, so bright
Tinseled trees adorned with festive light
From Graham Island east through Labrador
Merry holidays are here once more
The snowflakes fall, the snowflakes rise
Tracing icy breezes through the skies
Carolers sing along with town brass bands
Decked halls and storefronts across the lands
Yuletide colours so ornate, so bright
Tinseled trees adorned with festive light
From Newfoundland west through Whitehorse
Seasons greetings to us all once more
Passing through my hometown streets
I contemplate the bittersweet-
-ness of these few short weeks of cheer
In a time so often wrought with fear
Despair returns when once again
Our world's distress consumes my thoughts, but then
I smile as I begin to see
These hometown streets reveal to me
The thriving peace that's here to find
In this nation cast from all humankind
All Earth's creeds and cultures, in plain sight
Now adorned with kindled hope so bright
From mountains' peaks, to prairies' plains
From big city blocks, to small town lanes
From arctic isles to the Great Lakes' shores
Christmas time in Canada is here once more
