Ocean bird, I wish to tell you A story from a long time ago. Oh ocean bird, I wish to tell you That sad old song you have to know. America, so many heroes They left their homes and crossed the waves. America, you sent your young boys Oh ocean bird, how must I tell you That sad old song? They came to save us! America, so many heroes They lost their lives and filled the graves.
America, we love your heroes America, we are your friends America, we?ll always love you And keep you in our hearts and hands America, so many heroes They left their homes and crossed the waves. America, you die of grief now Oh ocean bird, how must I tell you That sad new song? They are in pain now! America, we share your sorrow, America, let hope remain
