~ The Rose & The Fleur-De-Lis ~

The English Rose and the Fleur-De-Lis They met so long ago in a place, where the tall tree grew This English Rose said to the Fleur-De-Lis Come my dear we'll cross the sea To a land of wonders for to see So the English Rose said Good-bye to England's shore To follow her handsome Fleur-De-Lis To where the trees did grow and the animals did roam free In this wonderful land so far away Of which he described so elegantly To a place they will call home They built a home and prospered for many a year side by side The English Rose and the Fleur-De-Lis Now many a men say it can not be To live side by side in harmony Now to be, the Maple Leaf and the Fleur-De-Lis They never stopped to consider The love we shared for this vast Country Where we lost so many to keep it free In the time of the English Rose and the Fleur-De-Lis Never will they know, how much it hurts to see In separate.. My beautiful Fleur-De-Lis Where we stopped upon the shores, so very long ago People of Canada, Unite!! Proclaim the injustice far and wide We will not separate We have the right to proclaim Canada and Quebec Stay whole within this dominion we fought so hard to keep Where the Fluer-De-Lis flies so proudly, with the Maple Leaf Let it be known from far and wide Where ever they fly, is the injustice of willful men The Rose and the Maple leaf Only wants harmony in this land To make it grow As we work side by side, like we did so long ago United Canada, help keep our country free from separation We have the right, for it was our loved ones who died to make it so! Canada, raise your voices, "No Separation"!!... Quebec, is part of Canada, and as should remain To make this a united Canada, a strong Canada Where our flags can fly side by side, upon this land that we call home. A place where the English Rose and the Fleur-De-Lis Fought to make it so,,, For you and me!!!
