songs Intro:
American hero
where did you go?
American hero
where did you go?
1st Verse:
You die with a tear in your eyes
to soar above where the eagles fly.
Why did you go and die
was it for yourself?
Why did you leave your family behind?
Chorus:
Was it for the countrys tears of thee
in a world where everything is blind
and hate is constant all the time?
To throw yourself up to the stars
or put your life behind the bars.
Either way you'll be wearing
the stripes of an American prisoner.
2nd Verse:
American hero
no one thanks you
American hero
vaguely remembered.
And you went to war for peace
equiped with
a bouquet of yellow roses for the blind.
I bet you can still hear there cries late at night
of the ones who died yelling freedoms in their sight.
Dreaming of freedom
and dying in the arms of no one.
Back to the chorus and fade out with the intro..
