Soldier Boy |
| 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? |
