My Country Songtext

von Dana Lyons

With a nine digit number code I pledged allegiance to the flag When I was only four years old The first thing that I learned in school Is we are a country free When bad forces attack our land I'll fight for my country I joined the scouts when I was twelve And put on a uniform I learned there how to fold a flag And how the look of a proud man was worn We camped in the mountains, deserts and plains We hiked through the giant trees And I saw God in the beaty there I'll fight for my country With a heavy pack and a cluttered mind A young man walks all alone Six thousand miles away he finds For the first time he feels at home And he laughs to himself as he faces his fear In the land of the mighty grizzly It was once like this everywhere I'll fight for my country Now I love this river, love this land And I love my green mountains home And when they come to cut the forest here They won't be fighting me alone 'Cause the wild lands are the places we go To remember what it means to be free When bad forces attack our land I'll fight for my country
