Until It's Time for You to Go" is a song from the 1965 album Many a Mile by Canadian First Nations singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie.

I feel that Canada has gone a lot farther than the US but there is still a long way to go.

And I certainly must point out that there is only one way off of this ride. And so it starts lets say the peace lovers have won the guns are gone the military has stood down in the United States and the only violence you see is little boys chasing each other with sticks which they get in trouble for But oh yes I forgot no other country in the world has gone this way and one of them.
