When the troubles of the whole wide world
Come knockin on your door
And theres problems of a different kind
That youve never had before
When youve played against a gale force wind
And it changes at half time
And you find your strength deserting you
And an emptiness inside
When theres people that will harm you
Though youve done to them no wrong
It time to sing, its time to sing, to sing a powerful song
When they want to ruin our province
Just to turn it into gold
When they think our greatest asset
Can be mined, dug up, and sold
When the factories are all closin
Like they are in our home town
And your friends are lookin out for work
Thats nowhere to be found
When the sprits they need a risin
To be happy, proud, and strong
It time to sing, its time to sing, to sing a powerful song
When the sprits they need a risin
To be happy, proud, and strong
It time to sing, its time to sing, to sing a powerful song
