Kris Kristofferson - 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

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

    Change 1989 for 2019 and you need not change the words. God help us all.

  4. s.... ....

    There's a well-known line that goes something like, "The good songs make you dance. The great songs make you cry." Well, I neither danced nor cried. But I did think, and think deeply. Kristofferson songs can make you do that!

  5. T.... B....

    Kris Kristofferson is a great example of a man and just an all-round human being.

    This is 25 years ago now. I can still remember me and friends saying : he is great and brave, but he will ruin his popularity in the US, and he did ;-)   We loved him even more here in Europe,lol....And the song is so great, and he is right :

    K.... F....

    It wasn't first world for most of the population dipshit.

    K.... F....

    Kine, I don't believe Kris' popularity is still good in the U.S., his only unpopular with the people who can't understand his message. It is sort of like his song, "To Beat The Devil", too many people don't want to hear the message.

    K.... F....

    Kine Fjellheim His popularity is growing at this time, but not in the same old corporate US fashion. This man's message is so appropriate to this donaldtrump world we live in and is being spread on internet in many venues....including this one.

    K.... F....

    Kris has always been popular even among the country music fans in spite of his politics.

    Sure I do know it :-) I think I'm lucky (and happy) to have every song of Kris, and I have every album he's ever made... I think I do know this KK group - if it's on facebook :-) I had replied twice here, but seems one hasn't managed to be seen here lol I think I wrote, I will see if I can find some time to make a vid to the song...
    And, yes, I'm from Germany :-) the place where all the music of Kris is blocked (of course I can watch any vid in my channel though)

  14. b.... ....

    There really are? I will see what I can do... because all his songs are blocked in Germany, I do not know which original songs by Kris are on YT and which are not ... I do not launch by hotspotshield every time I am in the net - it will enable me for the blocked vids - but I only use it when I'm looking for a song...

  15. b.... ....

    The lyrics are in the info box under the screen... Just click "show more"

  16. b.... ....

    yep, I agree with you...

  17. D.... O....

    Actually, to love what he sings here, you have to be passionate about something outside of you, just like Kris himself says in the Breakthrough DVD. I am, and I have no idea why I am and others aren't.

  18. b.... ....

    that's good :-)

  19. D.... O....

    Hey, my kids grew up with Kris too. Always on the tape in the car. They're all in their 40s now, and don't love him like I do, but I got my sister to love him!

  20. M.... M....

    Who's the douche that disliked this?

  21. b.... ....

    I also think this is one of the songs that make the difference...

  22. b.... ....

    i am from austria and i think this is one of the best songs from kris kristofferson

  23. C.... D....

    CHILLS !! !! and it's Veterns day. Thanks Vets every where

  24. b.... ....

    @trashy1310 This is cute... Didn't you like your daddy that you hated his music? My daughter just places herself in the back of the car and puts on her headphones so she can listen to her own music lol But she knows who Kris Kristofferson is and that's pretty good for the beginning.

  25. t.... ....

    Kris I hated you as i grew up hearing you blaring out of my fathers record player.. Now I have nothing but respect and love for you. how times change!

  26. b.... ....

    @plantium1000 Thanks, I'm sure it did... I really love KK for songs like this one...

  27. p.... ....

    Thank you for this song, I am right there with you, and I can not change.Great singing and great song. Touched me very much, sounds like it came straight from the heart and soul. Really!
