421 www.on.legion.ca ONTARIO COMMAND Beneath The Cross Oh, the Brave men and women who lay beneath the cross Days ago, ran across the soft moss They saw bullets raining down Bringing destruction to the town They Protected our children from what laid across Heard the voices of the long lost Were told freedom comes at a cost No money nor riches could ever buy such Only the brave people who fought for so much they felt the light that told them so That protecting and fighting was the only way to go The war went on for years and years And families joy turned into tears Why couldn’t everyone be valued the same Instead of excluding the ones in pain And the ones who do not think in the same mind frame Because when war rages on there is so much to blame no winners no losers only shame We lost so many lives, and the numbers are growing The feeling we feel are always flowing Like the wind through the poppies softly blowing They fought for our freedom, and much did it cost the brave men and women who now lay beneath the cross.
