Hero's Die


Why is it that hero's
die by their own hand?

What is it that beats
them down into the sand?

What can I do
to make them stay?

Oh, Why?
Oh, Why?
Do yo go away?

What is the needed healing bliss?

Is it A letter, A laugh, A smile, A kiss?
Or something longed for something missed?

Oh bring them home to family and friends,
to warmth and safety that never ends.

But end it does we all know this,
when evil appears to rend the bliss.
Then all these joys are set aside
and once again grim men will ride
out into danger as they cannot abide
the evil that threatens joy and bliss.

There is no greater sacrifice than this.

Oh, God hear our plea
when we cannot help them
we depend on thee.

Keep them strong,
keep them whole.

Oh, Please!
Oh, Please!

Don't let them go.
