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...
