Lyrics
[refrain 2]
[verse 2] A boy bravely died for his country, / For honor, for justice and right; / What more could he do for the Red, White and Blue / That was threatened by Tyranny’s might? / But no mother can claim all the sorrow, / Nor the pride when his story is told, / He belongs to us all, not in vain did he fall, / Or the little blue star turn to gold.
[refrain 1] What star is that high in the heavens, / That shines with a strong, steady light? / ’Tis the soul of someone, his duty well done, / And all for his country and right. / Another name written in glory / With other great heroes enrolled, / When the little blue star in the window / Has turned to gold.
[verse 1] A boy bravely fights for his country, A fond mother kneels down in pray’r; / He’s fighting foul wrong as he forges along, / While for him she prays God’s tend’rest care / There’s a little blue star in the window, / And to her it’s a treasure untold, / But she watches afraid, for she fears it may fade, / That its color might change into gold.
