The values we all cherish
From our precious history,
We now pass on to others
Carved in wood - on this tree;
This mighty log will show us
Who we are, who we'll be,
And teach us where we've come from
What shaped - our destiny.
On our heritage tree, our heritage tree!
Planted in soil now for all to see!
A reminder to every child, woman and man,
Of the history of Labrador and Newfoundland;
A reminder to every child, woman and man,
Of the wonderful heritage of this great land!
Now a whole new millennium
Will reach this great land;
Our cedar tree though silent
Will speak - from human hands;
The images and stories
Are carved for all to see,
Of founders and icons
Who gave us - identity.
On our heritage tree, our heritage tree!
Planted in soil now for all to see!
A reminder to every child, woman and man,
Of the history of Labrador and Newfoundland;
A reminder to every child, woman and man,
Of the wonderful heritage of this great land!
Nurtured in Vancouver soil
And sixty feet in length,
This tree is a reminder
Of unity - and our strength;
More human hands will shape this tree
More images will appear,
God bless the land they represent
With heritage - oh so clear!
On our heritage tree, our heritage tree!
Planted in soil now for all to see!
A reminder to every child, woman and man,
Of the history of Labrador and Newfoundland;
A reminder to every child, woman and man,
Of the wonderful heritage of this great land!
On our heritage tree....
