Out of my window I looked up at the sky, I saw the Canada Geese flying by. Their number was many, Their noise so loud, It made my heart sing, I felt very proud, That these great birds with their wings so strong, To Canada these great birds belong. Out of the distance a straggler alone, Tries to catch up to the flock going home, He will get there this I am sure, This great bird, his voice will be heard, Winging his way up in the sky, I love to watch Canada Geese fly by.
