Come evening, when stars fall and rise
A soldier lives, a soldier dies
A blue star field lives but a day
To grow, to watch in sun-drenched ray
Blue stars, dressed in morning dew
Blue star hearts protect me and you
A blue star field stands to guard
The red, the white, the stripes won hard
My friends served with grace and hope
They gave their lives, helped others cope
They took an oath to protect
To guard love on earth and genuflect
Where vigilance reigns amid the white
And justice makes the red upright
The field of blue endures the fight
Fallen stars at dusk's twilight
Blue stars defend the day that gives
A soldier dies, a soldier lives
Comrades in arms until the end
Duty shields and saves their friend
The frost lies thick at dawn's first light
And thaws from darkest cold of night
Over honored graves so resolute
Blue stars, with red and white, salute
Blue stars defend the day that gives
A soldier dies, a soldier lives
Comrades in arms until the end
Duty shields and saves their friend
The frost lies thick at dawn's first light
And thaws from darkest cold of night
Over honored graves so resolute
Blue stars, with red and white, salute
