Lyrics
Clara Barton
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every time in the world someone receives first aid
You can thank Clara Barton for the life that is saved
She lived out her life in a world ruled by men
Every time they knocked her down she got back up again
Clara Barton
Civil War Veterans with tears in their eyes
Told how she braved the battle lust to save their lives
She never ran from the shot and the shell
Bringing aid and comfort in the midst of Hell
And even then at the war's very end
When the prisoners were lost and without friends
She helped families to find those that they loved
A professional angel sent from up above
Thank the Lord for Clara Barton and long live her name
The American Red Cross is her claim to fame.
When you see a Red Cross worker in a time of flood or war
Take a moment to remember and thank the Lord for Clara Barton.
