Canada ( /ˈkænədə/) is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Spanning over 9,900,000 km2 (3,800,000 sq mi), Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the longest land border in the world.
The land that is now Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French colonial expeditions explored, and later settled, along the region's Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy; the Canada Act 1982 severed the vestiges of legal dependence on Britain.
Feelin' alone, kicked out at fifteen
Father, ohoh, where am I gonna sleep?
I had a home, now hungry, tired, filthy
You had a son and walked away from me
Met your new wife, start your new life, you got no more time, busy
>From house to house I sleep on the couch, whoever has room for me?
Bein' a man comes with a price tag
What happened dad, you walked out, left for dead
Negative thoughts became reality
Having a child should not be so easy
I pay the rent, brothers school payments, your responsibilities
I used to be your priority, you got no more time, busy
Met your new wife, start your new life, you got no more time for me
Don't understand what kind of man abandons his family
Well, I'd rather you yell and scream at me
Cause I can't handle all this apathy
Your life seems good without me
You chose your own path, I'm not the one, I'm not your son,
at least that's how you make me feel
>From time to time I use my last dime to see if that you're for real
"I'm sorry son, I'm not the one, I've got other mouths to feed"
But for myself, forgive you dad, I'll be the man you'll never be
Met your new wife, start your new life, you got no more time, busy
