You're A Hero To Me - Johnny Rodriguez

You left us behind to fight the fight

We cried when you left but we knew you were right

Can’t take for granted that freedom will survive

Without those willing to make the sacrifice

Though you didn’t fall you gave your all

You’re a hero to me

All the years you were away

Are not forgotten by America today

You stood for the flag and liberty

In our heart you did your part

To keep our country free

You survived and made it home alive

You’re a hero to me

You don’t have to fall to make a stand

You don’t have to die to be a hero

Thank God you survived and came back alive

Without you where would we be

You’re a hero to me

Passing our old hangout today

Talking about our friends who went away

Those who gave their life for you and me

How I wish you believed it was meant to be

That you survive and make it home alive

You’re a hero to me
