Soldier Blue

[00:00.82] I tell you a story, it's a true one
[00:00.93] And I'll tell it like you'll understand
[00:00.93] And ain't gonna talk like some history man
[00:01.11] I look out and I see a land
[00:07.70] Young and lovely, hard and strong
[00:15.27] For fifty thousand years
[00:18.26] We've danced her praises
[00:21.34] Prayed our thanks and we've just begun
[00:28.81] This is, this is my country
[00:34.58] Young and growin' free and flowin' sea to sea
[00:41.82] Yes this is my country
[00:46.73] Ripe and bearing miracles in ev'ry pond and tree
[00:53.44] Her spirit walks the high country
[00:57.74] Givin' free wild samples
[01:00.81] And settin' an example how to give
[01:05.46] Yes, this is my country
[01:10.29] Retchin' and turnin', she's like a baby learnin' how to live
[01:16.74] I can stand upon a hill at dawn
[01:22.16] Look all around me, feel her surround me
[01:27.36] Soldier blue, can't you see her life has just begun?
[01:34.39] It's beating inside us
[01:36.83] Telling us she's here to guide us
[01:39.97] Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue
[01:45.08] Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Ooh
[01:56.86] Yes, this is my country
[02:01.36] And I sprang from her and I'm learnin' how to count upon her
[02:08.00] Tall trees and the corn is high country
[02:12.88] Yes, I love her and I'm learnin' how to take care of her
[02:19.64] Whenever the news stories get me down
[02:24.90] I take a drink of freedom to think of
[02:31.58] North America from toe to crown
[02:36.66] It's never long before I know just why I belong here
[02:42.23] Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue
[02:46.80] Can't you see that there's another way to love her?
[02:52.46] Soldier blue, soldier blue
[02:59.01] Can't you see that there's another way to love her?
[03:04.38] Soldier blue, soldier blue
[03:10.31] Can't you see that there's another way to love her?
[03:15.96]
