about

The mountain theme is continued on “Cross of Lorraine” where we are introduced to “our lady of the mountain”, an angel of compassion who provides hope in the face of extreme human suffering. Canadian bluegrass fiddle champion Tyler Beckett provides the wind beneath our wings.
For over a century, the “Cross of Lorraine” has been the symbol of The Lung Association, an organization providing assistance to those suffering from lung diseases such as tuberculosis.

lyrics

High above Dundas Valley she stands
Our lady of the mountain, watching over this land
See her red light shining oh, from the valley below
Hear the wings of an angel, that nobody knows

A friend to the soldiers, in the medical wars
The children, the Innu the, the people next door
See her red light shining oh, from the valley below
Hear the wings of an angel, that nobody knows

It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya
It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya
It’s a crying shame, this white plague
But she’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine
She’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine

And you know that she never, forgets a tear
That face in the lamplight, through the years
See her red light shining oh, from the valley below
Hear the wings of an angel, that nobody knows

It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya
It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya
It’s a crying shame, this white plague
But she’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine
She’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine

And we need never, be ashamed
She a Cross of Lorraine
She’s a Cross of Lorraine
