| Lyrics |
Tell you a storyit's a true oneand I'll tell it like you'll understand.
And ain't gonna talk like some history man.I look out and see a landyoung and lovely hard and strong.
For fifteen thousand yearswe've danced her praisesprayed our thanks and we've just begun.
Thisthis is my countryyoung and growin'freeand flowin' sea to sea.
Yesthis is my countryripe and bearing miraclesin ev'ry pond and tree.
Her spirit walks the high country
Givin' free wild samplesandsettin' an example how to give.
Yesthis is my countryretchin' and turnin'like a babylearnin' how to live.I can stand upon a hill at dawn
Look all around mefeel her surround me.
Soldier Bluecan't you seeher life has just begun ?
It's beating inside ustelling usshe's here to guide us.
Ooh
Soldier Blue
Soldier Blue
Can't you see that there's another wayto love her ?
Yesthis is my country
I sprang from her and I'mlearnin' how to count upon her;tall trees and the corn is high countryyes
I love her and I'm learnin'how to take care of her.
When the news stories get me down
I take a drink of freedom to thinkof my america from toe to crown.
It's never long before I knowjust why I belong here.
