Lyrics
The Maple Leaves Fly
© March 2, 2010 Stan Loh. My post Olympic song
Verse 1
They broke down the fence,
Their protest intense,
Black riders hid their eyes,
They hated the show,
And prayed for no snow,
The lawmen stood astride,
But no guns came out,
Different down South,
So violence nullified,
Chorus 1
The naysayera€™s grace,
Had pie in the face,
So the maple leaves fly a€¦
The maple leaves fly a€¦
Verse 2
The champions were shown,
Now the crowds have grown,
The five rings standing proud,
But Guardian threw spikes,
The liked was disliked,
The patriotsa€™ voices loud,
They cheered for the sport,
Like loyal consorts,
True champions cana€™t be bought,
Chorus 2
Though naysayers say,
Their pockets will pay,
The maple leaves fly a€¦
The maple leaves fly a€¦
Bridge
Thousands of patriots filled the streets,
Millions rushed out to greet,
Victors of gold a€¦ victors of gold.
Instrumental
Verse 3
Now history was made,
Braggers parade,
From Hope to Afghanistan,
Maple flags proud,
Through cheering crowds,
At every drinking stand,
And Len Cohen songs,
Inspired beyond,
Red leaves in the skies,
Repeat Chorus 2
