Angels, they are weeping over the foreign wars Changed will be the pictures of the foreign lands Trains, Ports are sailing from shore to shore Maps will change entirely to different hands Brave Heroes are falling to arise no more Kings and Queens may ever rule their fellow man But still, the bugles calling every man to war But pray they’ll be united like our own free land After the war is over and the world’s at peace Many  a heart will be aching after the war has ceased Many a heart will be vacant, Many a child will be alone But I hope they’ll all be happy in a place called home sweet home
