| 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… |
