Lyrics
Hero
He didn?t want to be a hero. He had a family and a wife
But he would go to fight a battle; protect his country with his life
He took a plane across the ocean. He drove a tank across the sands
And though well trained he had a notion, that his life was in G-d?s hands
(Chorus)
And he was young, and he was strong
And he would risk his life to right a wrong
He?d proudly serve America, he?s a hero
Each day he faced the threat of terror. Each night he prayed to see new day
He knew he could not make an error, or with his life he?d have to pay
He faced the bombs, he face the fire. He faced the fear he hid inside
He faced the fact he was a soldier, and he would do his job with pride
(Chorus)
Machelle M. Seibel (ASCAP)
