Your Cross And My Cross
Your boy and my boy and how they go today
From your home and my home to the trenches far away.
Brave lads and true lads, they never think of fear,
Young men and strong men we hold them all so dear,
And the one cross, the red cross, the cross for me and you,
Will succor them in ev'ry land 'neath the red, white and blue,
Will succor them in ev'ry land 'neath the red, white and blue.
Your heart and my heart throb as though to break,
While your hands and my hands many garments of comfort make.
Your thoughts and my thoughts follow them each day,
To your God and my God we always fondly pray,
And the one cross, the red cross, the cross for me and you,
Will succor them in ev'ry land 'neath the red, white and blue,
Will succor them in ev'ry land 'neath the red, white and blue.
Your food and my food we now must guard and save
That your flag and my flag may ever proudly wave.
Your gold and my gold, of it we freely give,
Thatyour son and my son in foreign climes may live,
And the one cross, the red cross, the cross for me and you,
Will succor them in ev'ry land 'neath the red, white and blue,
Will succor them in ev'ry land 'neath the red, white and blue.
