Those who die defending our freedom, and those who are murdered by fanatics, are truly heroes.
OUR HEROES
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-12-27-2007-1:00pm-1:55pm
(V-1)
(INTRO OF 4 LOOSE ROTATIONS)
Our memories of heroes lie just beneath the sands, of time
The whisper of their names, bring floods of pure emotion
Sands will blow away, for another day, once more
Our hearts pick up the pace, and we relive those days
(1-extra rotation before bridge)
(Bridge)
We buried whatever we got back
We lowered our colors half mast
The names we carved into the walls
Their actions are legends we recall
(1 rotation of chorus before 1 rotation of verse)
(V-2)
They did not ask to be, what they became, for us
Their modesty remains, the flicker of their flame
They watch us silently, portraits held in high, esteem
We draw a trembling breath, emotions coalesce
(1 ROTATION OF BRIDGE HERE)
(Chorus)
Heroes------------H, Our eyes begin to shine
Our heroes-------H, They stand the test of time
Cry heroes-------H, They gave more than we asked
Heroes------------H, Above and beyond the task
(1 ROTATION OF BRIDGE HERE)
(V-3)
Our memories of heroes lie just beneath the sands, of time
They did not ask to be, what they became, for us
(NO BRIDGE, STRAIGHT TO CHORUS)
(Chorus here)
(Lead out)
