Because of You

/I'm getting rather old these days And some may say, set in my ways Because I've seen so many Springs Within my brain live many things December 7 - Pearl Harbor Day The start of life a whole new way Four long years, each day aware Our brave force was "over there" They fought so hard and won the day We cheered and cried VE and VJ Not all returned, make no mistake They gave their lives for freedom's sake If life goes on with carefree days So many paid in many ways Stop - say thank you, we do care We think of you and say a prayer And now we face more long hard days As we fight to save our ways Not just for us, but others too The world lives on Because of You A thankful American/
