Pearl Harbor
I am a soldier
I am a fisherman
I'm gone from my family every day.
I'm gone from my family every day.
This feeling of being along.
Abandoning my only love for work.
For a job I must do.
For a job I must do.
Pearl Harbor was bombed!
Pearl Harbor was bombed.
Boats were destroyed and
people were killed.
A surprise attack from
the Japanese they say.
Pearl Harbor is destroyed!
Pearl Harbor is destroyed.
Bombs dropping from the sky
Planes soaring by quickly
Pilots shooting one by one.
Pilots shooting one by one.
Who gets hurt,
from this war attack?
from this war attack?
Children...
Fellow soldiers...
Families...
Families...
Those who are Japanese
We who are Japanese
are to blame for everything.
are to blame for everything
The bombing...
The killing...
Everything...
Everything...
Freedom is limited.
Freedom is limited
Families taken,
Away from their homes.
Away from their homes.
Lives taken,
In a furious battle.
In a furious battle.
I'm taken away from the ones I love
To be interrogated by enemies.
Interrogating the enemy
with questions of the unknown.
Families taking charge
In the time of need.
Families together
safe and sound in their homes.
Fighting for freedom.
Fighting for freedom
For whatever choice we have.
Free at last.
Free at last!
From a battle well fought,
with the hands of our enemy.
with the hands of our enemy.
One flag standing...
The wind blowing around...
around the stars and stripes
around the stars and stripes
Of America!
Of America.
