Clara Barton |
| 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. |
