The Vancouver Island Rail Song

---

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!

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…
