I'll tell you a story and it a true one

And I'll tell it like you understand

And I ain gonna talk like some history maid

I look out and I see a land

Young and lovely Hard and strong

For fifty thousand years we danced her praises

Prayed our thanks and we just begun Yes Yes

Yes this is my country

Young and growing

Free and flowing See to see

Yes this is my country

Ripe and bearing miracles

In every pond and tree

Her spirit walks the high country

She giving free wild samples

And setting an example how to give

Yes this is my country

Retching and turning

She is like a baby learning how to live

I can stand upon a hill at dawn

Look all around me

Feel her surround me

Soldier blue

Can you see her life has just begun

Beating inside us Telling us she here to guide us

Soldier blue Soldier blue Soldier blue

Can you see that there another way to love her

This is my country

And I sprang from her

And I learning how to count upon her

Tall trees and the corn is high country

I guess I love her

And I learning how to take care of her

When 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

Soldier Blue Soldier Blue

Can't you see that there's another way to love her

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
