So over the mountains and over the plains

Into the muskeg and into the rain

Up the St. Lawrence all

A drink to the living, a toast to the dead

Oh, the song of the future has been sung

All the battles have been won

All the mountaintops we've seen

All the world at our command

We have opened up the sword
With our teardrops
E

And our tongue

When the railroad did not run

When the wild majestic mountains

stood alone against the sun

Longed for the white man
D
and longed for the wheel
When the green dark forest

was to silently be
A
When the green dark forest
D
A
And many are left deafened
C
D
To silence, to be real
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
