Hero

Days go by And I wonder why Why the sky's sunset wheeps tonight A strong soldier overseas has lost his fight The crushing sounds of screams The soldier has his fellow brother dead at his feet He picks up his brother to take him home You see this soldier can not leave his brother all alone The bullets fly through the air But the soldier is fearless and he will never give up, he wouldn't dare The sign of safety and freedom is just over the hill He'd risk everything to carry his fellow brother home even the risk of being killed This soldier is a hero in the eyes of all What would of happened if he never took the call The call to duty to fight without fear and to protect The heroism and determination in this soldier deserves total respect The sun will rise in the morning and this soldier will be alive But this soldier and man of God will still be dead inside He still has night terrors of losing his brother on the battlefield There is no greater pain then witnessing someone close to you get killed But no matter what happens, in my heart this soldier will always be a hero to me He will always be family and I will truly always idol thee You see, he was the one carrying my uncle home to me At the funeral the guns shoot in the sky And now i no longer need to wonder why As the tears run down my eyes I realize that I am the lucky one to have my uncle home after he has won his fight He has a won his fight to heaven I would of never got to see my uncle if it wasn't for his fellow Lieutenant
