... my family and I emigrated from Canada to the United States Of America. Thank you to the people of America for welcoming us and for the opportunity to contribute to its greatness.

Welcome, Welcome Emigrante
Song by Buffy Sainte-Marie

So welcome, welcome emigrante
To my country, welcome home
Welcome, welcome emigrante
To the country that I love

I am proud, I am proud
I am proud of my forefathers and I say
They built this country
And they came from far away
To a land they didn't know
The same way you did, my friend

So welcome, welcome emigrante
To my country, welcome home
Welcome, welcome emigrante
To the country that I love

I am proud, I am proud, I am proud of my forefathers
And I sing about their patience
For the work they did was lowly and they dirtied up their clothes
And they spoke a foreign language and they labored with their hands
And they came from far away to a land they did not know
The same way you do, my friends.

So welcome, welcome, emigrante, to my country, welcome home.
Welcome, welcome, emigrante, to the country that I love.
