Heroes In Our Midst

As
Johnny’s marching off to war
All these talking heads keep score
Thinkin’ they know so much more than he does
While
they pretend to play hardball
Johnny’s watched his brothers fall
This ain’t no game to him at all
Red, white and
blue
Are more than colors in the distant view
A flag that stands for freedom proud and true
Is counting on you
America has been attacked
Some
step forward, some fall back
We thank God for these
Heroes
in our midst
Unsung, unknown,
Some that won’t
be comin’ home
For all they gave, we never will forget
Heroes
in our midst
Life is good in Hollywood
The stars are shining like they should
But there are times I wish we would remember
Those whose
names are not in lights
Who fight to guarantee our rights
So we can dream and
set our sights
On skies so blue
These heroes risk their lives for me and you
The world’s a better place for what they do
You know that it’s
true
America
has been attacked
Some
step forward, some fall back
We
thank God for these
Heroes
in our midst
Unsung,
unknown,
Some
that won’t be comin’ home
For all they gave, we never will forget
Heroes in our midst
To sons and daughters serving
We salute your sacrifice
In every generation
There are those who pay the price
So we can live in freedom
In this earthly paradise
America has been attacked
Some step forward, some fall back
We thank God for these
Heroes in our midst
Unsung,
unknown,
Some that won’t be comin’ home
For all they
gave, we never will forget
Heroes in our midst
