Heroes

Where have all the heroes gone In this nation facing war Do you have faith in government now You reap what you sew, no more. A mother waits for the return of her son A father is waiting for the war to be done A son is praying for his Dad to come back A daughter cries out, the night seems so black Tension keeps mounting, tears have been shed While Washington routinely tallies the dead Where are the heroes, do they exist any more Are the heroes the ones' protesting the war I would die for my country and I would die proud But over this war hangs a horrible shroud We hear empty promises from our president's tongue We're not saving the world, we are killing our young There is only one fact that should not be refuted When terrorists are caught, they need to be executed If we don't follow it through, we can't protect our land As death is the only answer they understand Please don't tell us this is a necessary war Repeating Vietnam, we've heard it all before Tell us now as this war rages on Where have all the heroes gone?
