Soldier Blue Lyrics - Up Where We Belong - Buffy Sainte-marie

I tell you a story, it's a true one 

And I'll tell it like you'll understand 

And 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' free and flowin' sea to sea 

Yes this is my country 

Ripe and bearing miracles in ev'ry pond and tree 

Her spirit walks the high country 

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? Ooh 

Yes, 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 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? 

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?
