North Star, Southern Cross
(Van Buren-Purdum)

You came into my land, you were a stranger
We spoke to each other in words we didn't understand
When purpose is in common, words they do not matter
Together we worked to save lives where we can

I look up in the sky, the North Star above me
When you look up tonight, the Southern Cross you'll see
Though oceans and miles may separate us
My friend you'll always be
Comrades in the fight for liberty

You're not gone forever. One day you will return
And some day I hope, your country for to see
I know that in time, together we'll fight again
To make on this planet a place that is free

I look up in the sky, the North Star above me
When you look up tonight, the Southern Cross you'll see
Though oceans and miles may separate us
My friend you'll always be
Comrades in the fight for liberty

I look up in the sky, the North Star above me
When you look up tonight, the Southern Cross you'll see
Though oceans and miles may separate us
My friend you'll always be
Comrades in the fight for liberty

There's Heaven and there's Hell, that others someday may go
But Valhalla will be the home for you and me
The warriors who stand and hold the road to liberty
And keep the bridge open for those who would be free

I look up in the sky, the North Star above me
When you look up tonight, the Southern Cross you'll see
Though oceans and miles may separate us
My friend you'll always be
Comrades in the fight for liberty

I look up in the sky
