We Can’t Forget

The sun was dawning on another day,
On many men who dead did lay,
Their days were over in this world of war,
But they will be remembered for ever more.

They left their homes in many places,
To fight the “super-Nazi” races,
Who wanted to rule the world around,
And destroy the millions who did abound.

Our men fought for land and sea,
They killed for every stone and tree.
The Nazis were finally put on the run,’
Then came the race of the Rising Sun.

From a little country out in the sea,
They wanted to take our liberty.
With a little of our atomic power,
We made them run and shrink and cower.

They put an end to this war and strife,
With the cost of many a human life.
It might happen again, so we can’t forget,
These gallant heroes whose blood was let.
