Canadians are gearing up to sing the Tragically Hip classic Courage on Thursday night.

The plan is to echo the lyrics of late Hip frontman Gord Downie, a man whose courage truly knew no bounds.

Following the lead of Spain and Italy, Canadian’s will sing from their bedroom windows, balconies and porches.

Thursday night at 6 pm EST, the lyrics “courage, it couldn’t come at a worse time” will ring out from the rooftops. In actuality, this is an opportune time for a showing of courage.

Italy has serenaded us. Spain crooned! Now it's time for #Canada to "Sing From the Rooftops"

This Mar. 26 at 6pm EST let's all sing, play, dance whatever to "Courage" by @thehipdotcom

Montreal comedian Joey Elias says he came up with the idea as something to “take the edge off.”

“If we could just get together as a country with a band that united us already and forget about all that nonsense and dance like nobody’s watching. It’s a quick distraction but hopefully a distraction the whole country can get behind,” Elias said.

Sing it loud and proud!

Courage (For Hugh MacLennan) Lyrics

Watch the band

Through a bunch of dancers

Quickly, follow the unknown

With something more familiar

Quickly, something familiar

Courage, my word,

It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter

Sleepwalk, so fast asleep

In a motel, that has the lay of home

And piss on all of your background

And piss on all your surroundings

Courage, my word,

It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter

Courage, your word,

It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter

Courage, my word,

It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter

Courage, it couldn’t come at a worse time
