Hero’s End
Vs 1
They gave all ---- to keep us free
Blood sweat and tears for liberty
Their watchwords were: “Protect – Defend.”
In war and peace ---- these brave were sent
Chorus
They’re not the kind to brag and boast about their deeds
And they have earned the right to live with dignity,
Until they go where comrades wait around the bend
In the fading mist ---- at hero’s end
Vs 2
In desert heat ---- where waters chill
Above the clouds, on shell-scared hills
Old glory waved for all to see
The Stars and Stripes of liberty
Bridge
Just average Joes and Janes who stood for freedom’s truth
From every race – all Red, White and Blue
Americans through thick and thin
Heroes deserve a hero’s end
Repeat Chorus
End
They’ll all fall in as in those days of old,
And answer “here” when their names are called from heaven’s roll
Standing --- at ease with hero friends
In the fading mist ---- at hero’s end
