Project Hayseed - Hero

You're in our hearts and our prayers at night
Pictures in wallets and the letters we write
A silence at the table and your empty chair
Wanting you back but needing you there
We tie yellow ribbons and wait by the phone
Counting the moments until you're home
God knows we miss you, your laugh and your face
Wanting you back in our embrace
You fight for your family and their way of life
Preserving our freedom without compromise
It's not done for the money or glory
To you it just comes naturally
Thank you for being a hero to me
You go far and near
Despite all your fear
To all foreign lands,
Air or sea
The pride of our land
The world understands
Why we're the home
Of the free
Words aren't enough but what can you say
To someone's who's paid a price you just can't repay?
At home you're called killers by critics
Forgotten by the one's who make the call
You'd do it all again tomorrow in spite of it all
You fight for your family and for our way of life
Preserving our freedom without compromise
It's not done for the money or glory
I'm grateful for the things you've done for me
I'd like to thank you for being a hero to me
I'd like to thank you for being the hero
You didn't have to be
