Highway of Heroes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The day I shipped out they numbered a dozen
Upon my return were a hundred or so
From the coast and from the prairie I bet they keep coming
Add one more name from Ontario
And carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with their flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love
There was never more
I served with distinction
No visions of glory
I served without question of personal gain
Seek no justification
It's not part of my story
And it all serves no comfort to the ones who remain
Just carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with the flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love
There was never more
I took up my vocation
I was called by my nation
Without hesitation my answer I gave
Now I am not wondering of things that I might've been
I'm no consolation to the forgotten brave
So carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with the flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love
There was never more
