Fallen Hero's

Fallen Hero's With loving words expressed along the pathway We seek the love that was once shared amidst the sadness A long host of memories flood the halls of the high school Along comes a grenade at the head full of lead Chasing back the fears from out of the heart swell Laughter can be the best medicine when your in the trenches Leaves fallen outside mark the iced filled green dew We as a nation have bitten off far more then we could chew It's a voluntary service to guard the great U.S.A. At night we humbly hang our heads then bow the knee to pray Fallen hero's behind the enemy line in the shade A sirene blasts this could be the end of the age A token of jest to an unwelcome land in unrest They say that time heals wounds to pass the ultimate test Mark the one who would be willing in which to explore A painted fence the traffic of sincere onlooker's arise in battle Let's salute the men & women who have gone before us Through open your loving hands and join the heavenly chorus Become a beacon of light to a much hurting world in need While the world outside today is swallowed up in much greed Fallen hero's exposed to the elements out of love Shatter the logic that says a gun for hire for it's are one desire A hero is just a loser that falls yet gets up again Searching for a destination in which to live to explain Sons of thunder is it any wonder we got too much time on are hands Salute our nations hero's next time you see them my friend
