Thanks to the Anonymous artist that donated this rendition of the Restore Vancouver Island Rail song lyrics below.
Vancouver Island Motor way
is congested every single day
people cry for another way
if only we had rail.
Retired 11 years ago
when roadways were still nav-able
and cost of living reasonable
if only we had rail!
Build another road they cry!
through watersheds? they reply
won’t our cars be able to fly?
if only we had rail.
Rents are costing way too much!
rising gas and food and such,
keeps low rent areas out of touch,
if only we had rail.
Vancouver Island has a track
it’s all there, that’s a fact
there is a way we get it back
The plan makes sure of that!
All it takes is people’s will
to show support to make it real
tell your kids you sealed the deal!
Sign the petition if you will

Thanks to the Anonymous artist that donated this rendition of the wider roads song lyrics below.
wider roads, Wider ROADs, Wider roads..
Why do roads always run into trouble?..
even when they are doubled..
I feel troubled
wider roads, Wider ROADs, Wider roads..
Why do roads often look like rubble?
Especially while being doubled…
I hear grumbles
wider roads, Wider ROADs, Wider roads..
Why are roads like a street level rumble?
Safe in our little bubble…
I see double
wider roads, Wider ROADs, Wider roads..
Why do roads always feel like a juggle?
a wild chaotic jungle…
stats make me humble
Ya hop in a lane, someone’s driving insane
ya wanna to refrain, but you finger away
and it lingers…
he was driving in figures…
Then it starts to rain, and the headlights are a pain
pray’in ta see that lane, but you wander...
And you ponder…
Am I driving in figures…

wider roads, Wider ROADs, Wider roads..
wider roads, Wider ROADs, Wider roads..
wider roads, Wider ROADs, Wider roads..
wider roads, Wider ROADs, Wider roads..
