Soldier Blue [Title Song from the Avco-Embassy Picture, Soldier]
I'll tell you a story and it's a true oneand I'll tell it like you understandAnd I ain't gonna talk like some history maid.I look out and I see a land.Young and lovely. Hard and strongFor fifty thousand years we've danced her praises.Prayed our thanks and we've just begun. Yes, YesYes 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's giving free wild samples.And setting an example how to give.Yes this is my countryRetching and turningShe is like a baby learning how to livei can stand upon a hill at dawnLook all around me. Feel her surround me.Soldier blueSongtexteCan't you see her life has just begun Beating inside us. Telling us she's here to guide us.Soldier blue, Soldier blue, Soldier blue.Can't you see that there's another way to love her.This is my countryAnd I sprang from herAnd I'm learning how to count upon her.Tall trees and the corn is high country.I guess I love her.And I'm learning how to take care of herWhen the news stories get me downI take a drink of freedom to think ofNorth America from toe to crownIt's never long beforeI know just why I belong hereSoldier Blue, Soldier BlueCan't you see that there's another way to love her Aus Songtexte Mania
