Release of Souls - Concert

We are brothers; born of the earth
We will not falter; under hatred's curse
United alter; we stand as one
Hear us thunder; we are strong

Not for glory; worthless praise
Not for money; a moment's fame
We run with courage; to the ones in pain
With arms to rescue
Would you do the same?

(chorus)
Never Forget, Never !
Never Forget, Never !

The flag above us; we link arm in arm
Each generation; to the one before
Some have fallen; we feel the ache
Our hope is steady; and we keep the pace

Called to duty
Signal 5555
Sacrifices ... And so many lives
These bells will ring out
For the ones we've lost
Their race now finished
At so great a cost ...

Never Forget!
by Glenda Rae and Katon

Most recognized for his immensely popular appearances singing the national anthem during the NHL play-offs last spring, Mark is commonly referred to as “Mr. O Canada”, and the Canucks’ “Lucky Charm”. Mark won the hearts of hockey fans and Canadians from coast to coast by holding the microphone to the crowd and encouraging them to sing along on his solid and unabashedly patriotic version of our national anthem. He has since sung for a variety of events from political conventions to the BC Highland Games to the swearing in of more than 400 new Canadians last Canada Day.
