Soldier Blue
Buffy Sainte-Mary
SOLDIER BLUE [INTRO] 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 [VERSE] This this is my country young and growing and free and flowing. Sea to sea yes this is my country ripe and bearing miracles in every pond and tree. Her spirit walks the high country giving free wild samples and setting an example how to give. Yes this is my country retching and turning like a baby learning how to live. [CHORUS] 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 Soldier blue soldier blue can’t you see that there’s another way to love her. [VERSE] Yes this is my country I sprang from her and I’m learning how to count upon her tall trees and the corn is my country I guess I love her and I’m learning how to take care of her. {CHORUS] When the news stories get’ me down. I take a drink of freedom to think of My America from toe to crown it’s never long before I know just why I belong here. [OUTRO] Soldier blue soldier blue can’t you see that there’s another way to love her. (3x)
