I'm Sorry

I'm sorry 

I'm sorry for what 

My country is doing 

For what we seem to think 

Is OK   

I'm sorry for how 

My president is acting 

And how he seems to think 

He owns you 

I'm sorry that 

People refer to you 

As the 51st state 

Instead of 

The country 

Canada 

I'm sorry that 

Our sacred bond 

Has now been broken 

But I hope 

We can mend it 

I'm sorry for 

What we're doing 

To you  

Canada 

To your 

People 

To all the little kids 

Who will hear about 

This 

And maybe live in fear 

Alongside the adults 

I'm so sorry
