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
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' and free and flowin' sea to sea
Yes this is my country
Ripe and bearing miracles in every pond and tree
Her spirit walks the high country
She is 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?
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, 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?
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?
