SO YOU'RE A HERO

She said don't thank me

I just served my time

Thank the heroes

Those who fought and died

I was safe here

Didn't risk my life

So you don't have to

Thank me for my time

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Were you ready

Would you have gone

If they'd have called you

If you're name was drawn

You enlisted 

Right then you didn't know

If you would fight for us

Or would remain at home

So I thank you

For what you didn't know

You signed up to serve

So you're a hero

~~*~~

You think it's not the same

But you step forth with pride

You know you would have gone

That's what you've got inside

It's something that I know...

So you're a hero

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Don't you take a backseat

Don't you hang your head

You represent your Brothers

Those who've died

And those who've bled

Don't tell me that you wouldn't

Have been there with them too

If it's what our Country needed

It's what you set out to do

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Were you ready

Would you have gone

If they'd have called you

If you're name was drawn

You enlisted 

Right then you didn't know

If you would fight for us

Or would remain at home

So I thank you

For what you didn't know

You signed up to serve

So you're a hero
