Lyrics
Tramping feet of marching millions set a speedy pace
Up the road that leads to progress
Are you in your place?
This fair land of ours holds promise
For the man in step
So put on your shoes, your marching shoes, and fall into line
No time to lose, and forward
Keep in step!
Chorus
From coast to coast, from lakes to pole
Canada is on parade
Listen! the trumpets call and drums announce
A pageantry of trade
Up in the van ahead, gleam pennants bright
Pointing to prosperity
Swing into pace, put a smile on your face
And march with a spirit unafraid
With Canada on parade
Sung here by Vancha March:
