Yom Hazikaron: We Remember
Sweeping vista
Lifeless plane
Victory hollow
Heart of pain
Land mass strewn
friend and foe
Lie forever
Battle throe
Sand storm rising
Sinai beckons
A soul asunder
Wanders, reckons
Patience try
Today on high
Was it worth it
An anguished sigh
A rising wave
A tidal crest
We won the war
We lost our best
Victory sweet
A price so steep
Oh please dear G-d
My brother keep
Sinai captured
Fires cease
Dead, secure
A lasting peace
Will our neighbors
See the light
Will they give up
The endless fight
Your loss protected
The lives of others
A grateful country
Sisters brothers
You gave your life
You formed a nation
A sacrifice
For generations
In death you serve
We cry forever
We live for you
But see you never
Your body broken
A missile a mine
Your soul complete
A sacred shrine
A burning coal
A glowing ember
Eternal hero
We remember
