I Am — текст песни (Bill Anderson)

I am a soldier I`m a slave of power
Power so great that it can destroy God`s world with one mighty blast
I`m a machine a computer an engine programed to reap destruction wherever I go
I`m a bad risk for my credit is only backed up by the United States Government
My reputation is that of a braggard a sex fied a cheat and rusted hero
I`m a killer paid and trained to hit first before being hit and I do
I`m a soldier so who cares how dirty the job is if it has to be done then it`s done
Right but I`m also a human being I am myself good or bad
I smell the flowers in the spring I hear the birds sing in the early morning
I feel the warmth of a fire in the winter and I feel the rain as it moinstens my brow
I`m a part of family with God as my father and me the obediest child
I have wants and needs and I have the strenght and the faith to fullfill them
And I have passion the kind of passion that brings forth a love so great
That no war no tragedy or no other being could ever destroy
I`m a human being and I feel I feel the things all around me
And I`m grateful I`m so very grateful
I`m also an American and I`m proud
I`m proud because I have the right to worship God as my Master
The right to love a wife children mother and father
Without the fear of political reprisal
My country gives me the right to build to destroy
And to rebuild to better proportisions
I am an American I have the right to listen the Star Spangled Banner
The right to feel a chill throughout my entire body when I look at the flag our flag
I have the right to defend to honor to pay tribute
To the great ones who`ve come and gone before why
Because I`m an American and because I`m an American I can also cry
I can cry for my lost brother who died defending our way of life
I am an American and I`m proud proud because I am
