UNCLE SAM from the FREEDOM ALBUM

Performed by Chad Lee.  Written by Chad Lee and Dess Fletcher


My Uncle Sam was a miner in Kentucky with lungs chalked full of coal
Every morning he’d wake up take a shallow breath back to work he’d go
Puttin’ hot food on tables and heatin’ homes
Workin’ hard for a dream higher than that dark hole

My Uncle Sam was a welder in Manhattan puttin’ fire to a steal beam
Fifty stories up hangin’ from a rope so high he could barely breathe
Buildin’ cities buildin’ hope and buildin’ dreams
Buildin’ a future for the future for you and me

CHORUS 1:
That’s my Uncle Sam, That’s my Uncle Sam
All the men who gave me wings to follow my dreams in this promise land
That’s my UNCLE SAM

My Uncle Sam was a preacher in Texas under a big white tent
He’d stand tall mighty and proud up on that ol’ pulpit
Preachin’ the truth from town to town with an Amen
He’d tell em’ all kneel down say a prayer repent

CHORUS 2:
That’s my Uncle Sam, That’s my Uncle Sam
All the men who gave me faith taught me to pray and made me who I am
That’s my UNCLE SAM

BRIDGE:
My Uncle Sam built up this great nation
My Uncle Sam tore down segregation
My Uncle Sam taught us all salvation
My Uncle Sam took a bullet for our freedom

CHORUS 3:
That’s my Uncle Sam, That’s my Uncle Sam
All the men who sacrificed fought and died for all Americans
Yea..That’s my Uncle Sam
All the men who gave me wings to follow my dreams in this promise land
That’s my UNCLE SAM
That’ my UNCLE SAM
Made me who I am
That’s my UNCLE SAM
