Soldier Blue

[Intro]
Tell you a story and it's a true one
And I'll tell it like you'll understand
And I ain't gonna talk like some history man

[Verse 1]
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, yes, yes

[Chorus]
Yes, yes, this is my country
Young and growing free and flowing
Sea to sea, yes, this is my country
Ripe and bearing miracles in every pond and tree
Her spirit walks the high country
She's giving free wild samples
And setting an example how to give
Yes, this is my country
Retching and turning, she's like a baby learning how to live

[Verse 2]
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?
Woah, beating inside us
Telling us she's here to guide us

[Refrain]
Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue, solider blue
Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
This is my country
And I sprang from her
And I'm learning how to count upon her
Tall trees and the corn is high country
Yes, I love her
And I'm learning how to take care of her

[Bridge]
Whenever the news stories are getting me down, I
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

[Outro]
Soldier blue, soldier blue
Can't you see that there's another way to love her?
Ooh-ooh, soldier blue (Soldier blue), 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?
Ooh-ooh
