A modern interpretation of the 1918 song "Somewhere are the boys of the U. S. A." by Sarah L. Gardner.

Time Period: The Great War/ WW1
Original lyrics:

Somewhere our hearts are with the boys
Who've gone from us to save
A nation dear without a fear

We know that they are brave
They tent alone away from home
From friends and loved ones too

March on, dear lads, wherever you roam
We'll pray for you at home
Somewhere, somewhere our boys are on their way

Up on the land and in the skies
On the rolling waves
Somewhere, yes, somewhere our stars and stripes recall

In distant lands a peace so sweet
And liberty for all
All a nationwide has made the call
Our flag must be unfurled

On land and seas, where is the tomb
Of loved ones over the world
The call to you did not disguise
The need and sacrifice

March on, dear lads, so brave and true
We'll always pray for you
