A child
without a country
A family
without a home
We can
welcome them all to Canada
This land we
call our own
Displaced by
war and famine
Nowhere to go
but to sea
Seeking a
place that will shelter them
Where they’re
allowed to be free
The hand of
friendship extended
A welcome
getting off the plane
These are all
things we can do
We are all of
us links in the chain
A child
without a country
A family
without a home
We can
welcome them all to Canada
This land we
call our own
If you lost
your home, country and friends
Your
government and freedom too
Wouldn’t you
want someone to help
To do for you
all they could do?
So let’s
welcome the tired and hungry
Those who
have been beaten by fate
And show that
we are as good as
The values
and beliefs that we state
A child
without a country
A family
without a home
We can
welcome them all to Canada
This land we
call our own
