  There are two peace - pavilions here.

  The very first - to ever appear.

  For Canada - and the USA

  To share a park - had found a way.

  The herds that mi-grate cross the line,

  The birds that fly – can read no signs

  Except for those – Mother Nature posts

  That lead the flocks – from coast to coast.

  We neighbors share – a common fate

  And so instead - of borders and gates,

  The land of Gla-cier and Waterton

  Belong to both – yet exists as one.

  And from the crea-tures in this land,

  Our countries learned - to understand

  That borders are on-ly for those who fear

  And now we hold – each other dear.

Except for those – Mother Nature posts

That lead the flocks – from coast to coast.

We neighbors share – a common fate

And so instead - of borders and gates,

Belong to both – yet exists as one.

And from the crea-tures in this land,

Our countries learned - to understand

That borders are on-ly for those who fear

And now we hold – each other dear.
