Lyrics
Duty ends
For a chosen few
In a country they fought
Now in a country they knew
The miles role away
The people weep
Waving our flag
Lining the streets
Highway of heroes
Bring them all home
Highway of heroes
Never alone
Highway of heroes
Bring them all home
Highway of heroes
To Gods throne
The miles role away on the highway of heroes
The miles role away on the highway of heroes
They gave their lives
Deserved not their fate
For the world to become
A better place
Their spirits will soar
High in the sky
Still on patrol
A Soldier never dies
