Kris Kristofferson — The Eagle And The Bear

I will fight and I will die for freedom Up against an eagle or a bear I will help my brother and we'll sink or swim together If you don't like it mister, I don't care Cause I have served with honor in the army I have been 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 the land of liberty Like my father did before 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 I will fight and I will die for freedom Up against an eagle or a bear I will help my brother and we'll sink or swim together If you don't like it mister, I don't care 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
