Tim Hortons has made a full-length version of “Let’s Run” available to download for free through Sound Cloud. “Let’s Run” is an original song produced by music house Grayson Matthews on behalf of Tim Hortons for the commercial, which features Sidney Crosby jumping the boards alongside real Canadian hockey fans.
“Right from the very first day our Tim Hortons Sidney Crosby spot aired, our guests have been tweeting us and posting messages on Facebook and YouTube asking for the song,” says Rob Forbes, Senior Director, Marketing and National Programs, Tim Hortons. “We’re thrilled that the music has struck a chord with Canadians, and for that reason we wanted to produce a full-length version and provide it as a free download.”
Here are the song’s lyrics.
“Let’s Run” Lyrics
The northern lights are calling
The siren screams our name
The drums keep on pounding
You will know our name
Let us run let us run
Til’ the ends have come undone
And we’ve let the world know that we will not be overcome
We stand on frozen ground
With fire in our eyes
We fall into line our feet stomping in time
A million voices shout out
Yeah, this is our sign
Let us run let us run
Til’ the ends have come undone
And we’ve let the world know that we will not be overcome
Let us run, let us run, let us run…
We run till they can’t hide
Until the walls break down inside
We roll in like the tide
The waves our battle cry
We fall into line our feet stomping in time
A million voices shout out
Yeah, this is our night
Let us run let us run
Til’ the ends have come undone
And we’ve let the world know that we will not be overcome
Let us run let us run
Til’ the ends have come undone
And we’ve let the world know that we will not be overcome
Let us run, let us run, let us run…
