Lyrics:

There's a white cross tonight on Okinawa
Under skies of blue worldly cares are through
High above waves the old star-spangled banner
In his memory she'll be true

Some mother's heart knows full sorrow
Silently her prayers cross the foam
There's a white cross tonight on Okinawa
And a gold star in some mother's home

There's a white cross tonight on Okinawa
Under skies of blue worldly cares are through
High above waves the old star-spangled banner
In his memory she'll be true

Some mother's heart knows full sorrow
Silently her prayers cross the foam
There's a white cross tonight on Okinawa
And a gold star in some mother's home
