"Peaceful Arizona" a tribute composed and sung by retired US Navy Chief Gordon Freitas. This live video made by a friend includes well known pictures of Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona back in 1941...
Lyrics:
There's a land mark on the water
Perched above a ship below It's a long white peaceful hall With the names up on the wall Of brave men Who stood there long ago The sun was shining
Sunday morning On a harbor decked in gray Who could have known What lay ahead Love was lost And tears were shed And a memory Was born that day Peaceful Arizona
Lies beneath the harbor calm Under water colored rainbows, by a bank of swaying palms When the full moon
trembles on the water And the stars shine from down below I see monuments of times When our heroes in their prime Heard the call and chose to go Peaceful Arizona Lies beneath the harbor calm Under water colored rainbows, By a bank of swaying palms Just a deep and still reminder Of a past that's come and gone And the prideful men Who gave their lives for peace Back in 1941 Peaceful Arizona, Where did all the brave men go Peaceful Arizona, In the silence down below |
