[Verse 1] Cobalt mines in Congo, lithium from Chile's ground Rare earth elements scattered where they can be found But when borders close and trade routes freeze Our factories halt, our systems seize Dependencies stretch across the globe One broken link can pierce the robe [Chorus] Build it strong, build it wide Multiple sources by your side Critical minerals, backup plans Supply chain strength across the lands Redundancy is the key For true security [Verse 2] Semiconductors from Taiwan's shores Steel and aluminum through distant doors When pandemics shut the shipping lanes Or conflicts block the freight train chains Defense contractors feel the squeeze No parts to build our guarantees [Chorus] Build it strong, build it wide Multiple sources by your side Critical minerals, backup plans Supply chain strength across the lands Redundancy is the key For true security [Bridge] Stockpiles ready when crisis hits Domestic production that never quits Friendly nations in the mix Alternative pathways we can fix Resilience means we plan ahead Before the warning bells are red [Verse 3] Arctic shipping routes emerge As climate patterns start to surge New partnerships with trusted friends Ensure the vital flow never ends From nickel mines to titanium ore Strategic reserves behind each door [Chorus] Build it strong, build it wide Multiple sources by your side Critical minerals, backup plans Supply chain strength across the lands Redundancy is the key For true security [Outro] When external shocks arrive Resilient chains keep us alive Diversified and fortified Canada's future certified
