| We Still Care | 
|
| Zeroes broke the silence of a quiet Sunday morning
God's day of rest was shattered by the sound of guns and bombing
The harbor boiled, the sky turned black, our home was under fierce attack
Our brave men were fighting back, the attack was without warning.
Grown men cried, as comrades died
And Pearl became a gateway to heaven.
Heroes born, on that morn,
Lived to tell of the hell and to mourn
With great pride, those who died
...remember well.
Since that day of infamy, many years have come and gone
Tear-stained pages tell how we wrote our victory song
The war is over, all is past, peace has come, but memories last
Our flag is halfway down the mast, oh yes, we remember
How grown men cried, as comrades died
And Pearl became a gateway to heaven.
So lay a wreath, say a prayer,
For the men, who have died under there
Lives they gave, a country saved
And we still care ... we still care. | By Cordell Keith Haugen
