Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look out and I see a land
Young and lovely, hard and strong
For fifteen thousand years
We've danced your praises
Payed our thanks and we've just begun
[Verse 2]
This is, this is my country
Young and growing, 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
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
It's beating inside us
Telling us she's here to guide us
[Verse 5]
Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue (Soldier blue)
Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Ooh
[Verse 6]
Yes, this is my country
I sprang from her and I'm learning how to count upon her
Tall trees corn is high country
Yes, I love her and I'm learning how to take care of her
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Ooh, 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?
