I wish I was Canadian so this could be my game But here I stand in GM place And scream and shout the same
I watch the puck, the stick the skates and marvel at the skill As gladiators prowl the ice Hunting for the ****
Across the blue the offence moves bearing down once more A pass, a fake a sudden slap it's in the goal we SCORE
The crowd goes wild and shouts with joy our voices become one And in that moment, I join their ranks I am Canadian !!!
I wrote this during the final of the mens Ice Hockey in the 2010 Winter Olympics.
