Can’t You Hear Your Country Calling

Victor Herbert/Gene Buck

1917

Now all the world’s a stage they say
And we all have a part to play
Before you humbly I appear
And play the modern paul revere
To warn you all that war is here
You must awake we need you
Can’t you hear your country calling,
Calling to fight for peace?
Help on land and sea
For humanity
Rise in might to shield our honor
Can’t you see our country needs you?
Answer the call today!
Now we all must stand
By our dear beloved land, the USA!
