Lyrics

Courage, as brave as could be
With a heart as big as the world
Nothing here was worth your fear,
Nothing at all

You said victory in the battles we fight
Isn?t won easily
You gave what you could, what you had,
What you felt that you should

(Chorus)
Oh now the streets that you guard are gold
Always faithful
May God give the world
A heart half as big as yours.

If they could see, if the world only knew
The noble nature that defined you
Nothing short of selflessness
Leadership?s lowly it?s true
For heroes like you.
