"Over in Hero-Land" is a World War I era song released in 1918.

Below it is a picture of Lola Wentworth, who performed the song.

The woman is full of heartache, but is also proud of "her soldier boy."

In order to comfort herself she repeats a prayer, which is the chorus:[3] Over in Hero-Land, Angels above Hold out a helping hand Watch him I love, Tell him my lonesome heart Sends this command, Come back to me, Sweetheart From Hero-Land The sheet music can be found at the Library of Congress and Pritzker Military Museum & Library.
