Lyrics
Hero With No Name
© 2008 Tim Henderson
Verse
To the reaper of the lea field sheaf.
To the sweeper of the deep sea reef.
To the keeper of the key belief
That the hour is brief for the world's relief.
Verse
To the shielder from invasion's night.
To the wielder of invention's light.
To each love-avowing dove despite
Unrequited peace, let us now recite
Chorus
To acclaim
(like the might-be champion of the game
Shedding starshine for a far finer flame)
A hero with no name.
Verse
To the tender of regimes exiled.
To the fender for each blasphemed child.
To the sender of a dream compiled
From the truth defiled by a world gone wild.
Verse
To the donor of tight worth and time.
To the savior of earth's every clime.
To the soul sublime whose only crime
Is to fight for peace, let the belfry chime
Chorus
To acclaim
(like the horseman of the side-saddle dame
Aiming wide to tame and not for the fame)
A hero with no name.
Solo
Chorus
Let us now recite...
To acclaim
(like the horseman or the side-saddle dame
Aiming wide to tame and not for the fame)
A hero with no name.
