Story Behind The Song

My Family roots go back to The Tillies who sailed across the ocean on the Mayflower to all the battles fought in this country. I was named after a fallen Korean War fighter pilot. It just seems like the wounded always get the short end of the stick when they get back home. This was actually a taxi listing I was writing for, I think it was for a documentary on veterans. The reviewer liked the song, it just wasn't what they were looking for, as usual!

Song Description

This songs an example of Veterans who have been wounded that kinda fell through the cracks of society

Lyrics

A lonely man wakes up from shelter, the stench of trash, a chill in his knees
Around his neck a badge of honor, the lives he saved, aman of good deed
Can't kick the sounds of men in pain
He drowns it out with sleet and rain

Forgotten Heroes of Yesterday, folks shun them like their deranged
the sign says "God Bless Yes I'm In Need" truthful's tell ya "just Beer Please"
Have you been down? I just wana" know
You've seen them round, Forgotten Heroes

She's Perched upon her favorite Bench site, a place to feel the fresh ocean air
the flashes back to visions of war time, the wounded children put in her care
she can't forget, the flash of light
the cannon fire that took her sight

Chorus

Bridge
We're all just voyagers here that travel different streams
some hit the falls, others make it to the sea

Forgotten Heroes
