Kristofferson Kris - Eagle and the Bear lyrics

I will fight and I will die for Freedom

Up against an eagle or a bear

And I will help my brother and we'll sink or swim together

And if you don't like it mister I don't care

'Cause I have served with honor in the army

I have seen a soldier overseas

I have seen my Fatherland stagger like a dying man

Blinded and bewildered by disease

And I ain't gonna take it any longer

I can't look around it anymore

I'll defend what I believe in a land of liberty

Like my father did before

(Chorus:)

And I'll just pray to God for Nicaragua

And the sorrow of El Salvador today

And I'll say until the day we free Mandela

All the World will be in chains
