Heroes and Heroines |
Heros and heroines are scarcer than they’ve ever been |
So much more to lose than win the distance never greater |
Way back when you made history by flying planes across the sea |
Embarking on your odyssey |
You put away the danger |
Heaven bless the one who flys |
A pioneer on frontier skies |
The world was dark and your only mark |
Was the light of the northern star |
I imagine what was in your eyes |
The seeds of rust and days gone by Your wings hang in a gallery sky I wonder how you’re flying |
Way out on the western plains |
The snow drifts high and the dust wind burns |
The chinooks blow their winds |
Across the mountains |
A life that’s never safe and dry rodeos and riding high |
Ladies and their men get by on six guns and white lightening. |
Heaven bless them on the road those drifters and their dreams of gold |
The world was wide and a cowboy’s song could span the whole horizon |
I imagine what was in your eyes |
The dust and the dirt under out law skies |
A piece of land and a stubborn mind were the only things worth having |
Now they say the moon is dust and ash and California’s made of cash |
We’re waiting for those hills to crash into sparkling waters |
Rain and snow and sun and wind |
You roamed the earth and you spread your wings |
Long ago my hero’s dreams belonged to all God’s creatures |
Heaven bless the ones who sleep |
The ones who laugh and the ones who weep |
Heaven bless the one who keep their bearings strong and certain |
And Lord help the fool who said |
You’d better quit while you’re ahead |
A dreamer born is a hero bred on earth and up in heaven |
And Lord help the fool who said |
You’d better quit while you’re ahead |
A dreamer born is a hero bred on earth and up in heaven |
