[Verse 1]
Canada stands with purpose clear and bright
Defense industrial strategy takes flight
Security sovereignty prosperity's call
Three pillars standing strong and tall
Build Partner Buy the framework we embrace
Finding our nation's rightful place
[Chorus]
Ten sovereign capabilities we must defend
Digital systems where our futures blend
Secure cloud AI quantum in our hands
High assurance comms across our lands
Build it Partner up or Buy the best
DIS will put us to the test
[Verse 2]
Build means domestic capacity we grow
Innovation ecosystems help us know
Research and development on our soil
Canadian talent worth the toil
Partner with allies sharing common ground
Together strength in unity is found
[Chorus]
Ten sovereign capabilities we must defend
Digital systems where our futures blend
Secure cloud AI quantum in our hands
High assurance comms across our lands
Build it Partner up or Buy the best
DIS will put us to the test
[Verse 3]
Buy from markets when it makes the most sense
Cost and timeline guide our preference
Compliance consulting fits the frame
Helping industry play the game
Frameworks mapping to each sovereign need
Standards help our forces succeed
[Bridge]
Space and satellites above
Cyber security we love
Advanced manufacturing
Chemical biological screening
Nuclear systems maritime might
Air systems keeping us in flight
[Chorus]
Ten sovereign capabilities we must defend
Digital systems where our futures blend
Secure cloud AI quantum in our hands
High assurance comms across our lands
Build it Partner up or Buy the best
DIS will put us to the test
[Outro]
From Arctic waters to the southern shore
Defense industrial strategy and more
Security sovereignty prosperity's song
Together we are Canada strong
