Lyrics
HEROS
Words and Music c. Marc Farley
He defended honor gallantly?first campaign to last
When finally being all he could he used up all he?d had
So many years of God and Country, fire-storm and flack
He?s with her now but still she knows
?he?s always going back.
CHORUS
Inside the battle rages on?mostly late at night.
Dedicated harrier shall nay give up a fight!
She knows that he was born to serve, she knows his metal core.
She knows that he?s a hero here?in this endless war.
She read each letter carefully?then read between the lines
Sharing hope with progeny, seeding fertile minds
Tending every detail she gave them all a home
She?s with him now but still she knows?he?s always been alone.
REPEAT CHORUS
Tag: He knows that she was born to serve
He knows her metal core
He knows that she?s a hero here?.
