Soldier Blue

I tell you a story, it's a true one And I'll tell it like you'll understand And ain't gonna talk like some history man I look out and I see a land Young and lovely, hard and strong For fifty thousand years We've danced her praises Prayed our thanks and we've just begun This is, this is my country Young and growin' free and flowin' sea to sea Yes this is my country Ripe and bearing miracles in ev'ry pond and tree Her spirit walks the high country Givin' free wild samples And settin' an example how to give Yes, this is my country Retchin' and turnin', she's like a baby learnin' how to live I can stand upon a hill at dawn Look all around me, feel her surround me Soldier blue, can't you see her life has just begun? It's beating inside us Telling us she's here to guide us Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Ooh Yes, this is my country And I sprang from her and I'm learnin' how to count upon her Tall trees and the corn is high country Yes, I love her and I'm learnin' how to take care of her Whenever the news stories get me down I take a drink of freedom to think of North America from toe to crown It's never long before I know just why I belong here Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Soldier blue, soldier blue Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Soldier blue, soldier blue Can't you see that there's another way to love her?
