Utah’s Stand

(Verse 1) December 7th, '41, the sun was barely high, Pearl Harbor’s peaceful morning turned to fire in the sky. The USS Utah, old but proud, anchored in the bay, Faced the storm of war that came her way. (Chorus) She took the hits, bore the pain, Saved her sisters from the rain. On that day of fire and tears, Utah’s stand will echo through the years. (Verse 2) Torpedo planes were diving low, shadows on the waves, But Utah stood her ground, brave among the brave. She wasn’t built for battle, yet she fought with all her might, In the face of death, she stood and held the line that night. (Chorus) She took the hits, bore the pain, Saved her sisters from the rain. On that day of fire and tears, Utah’s stand will echo through the years. (Bridge) Pearl Harbor bled that fateful day, but Utah held her ground, A vengeful heart within her, as the bombs came crashing down. She may lie beneath the waves, but her spirit never yields, A guardian of the harbor, on history's battlefields. (Chorus) She took the hits, bore the pain, Saved her sisters from the rain. On that day of fire and tears, Utah’s stand will echo through the years. (Outro) Now she rests in silence, beneath the ocean’s tide, But the memory of her courage, we’ll forever hold with pride. On December 7th, we remember her name, The USS Utah, who withstood the flame.
