Or maybe invent the phone, or win the gold in some sport?

Our heroes give blood, then pay income tax.
Now and then, give yourself some time to think about
Your own heritage, {???}

Celebrate and don't berate
All the women and men who made this nation great
Not just fancy cars and movie stars
{???}
Canadian people who are forever gonna be the heroes.
Canada...WAKE UP!
Ask your uncle, I'll bet that he knows
A totally massive plethora of heroes.
