Freedom Convoy

[Verse 1]
We rolled into town in the gleam of the frost,
From Red Deer, from Rimouski, at personal cost.
A honk for the workers, a flag held high—
In the heart of the capital under a sullen sky.

[Verse 2]
There was laughter in alleys, guitars in the cold,
Lanterns of kindness where stories were told.
They fed one another, they swept every street—
Canada’s heartbeat in rhythm and beat.

[Chorus]
The Feds broke their own laws to break our will,
Free speech was a slogan… 'til the truth stood still.
They jailed the peaceful, they painted us black—
But we sang through the night, and we never looked back.

[Verse 3]
Tamara spoke strongly, her eyes burning bright,
A mother of reason in the glare of the fight.
Chris kept it steady, through pressure and spite,
The charge sheet was fiction, the courtroom a blight.

[Verse 4]
Where was the Charter they taught us in school?
Where are the judges who answer to rule?
They froze every dollar, they smeared every name—
For honking a horn, they called riot and shame.

[Chorus]
Oh Canada, where is your spine?
When the free are in cuffs for what was not a crime.
No looting, no fire, no riot, no raid—
Just working-class voices the regime betrayed.

[Bridge]
What good is the Charter, if it's crushed in the snow?
If dissent gets you shackled, how free do we go?
They built the gallows, their law us to mock,
While we shoveled the sidewalks and passed out warm socks.

[Verse 5]
The courtrooms are theatre, the Crown wears a mask—
They punish the question, not even the ask.
But winter remembers what spring dares regret:
That liberty dies when the people forget.

[Final Chorus]
So raise up your banner, your thermos, your pride—
We still have the truth, and we won’t step aside.
From the farms to the towns to the Parliament Hill,
The Convoy still echoes—
and the people still will.
