Chucky Arla - Hero's Hymn Lyrics

We're on this earth, only for a short time
To live it lame, is such a sad crime
A star burns twice as bright, burns half as long

The reaper's touch, can be clean or gory
We never know the end of our own story
A tribute to the fallen is the reason for this song

To live in fear, hate or desperation
Need not be your predetermined station
You've got to fight everyday for meaning in your life

Don't ever let the devil block your path
Shove him aside with not a prayer but a laugh
Live a life of wonder, never fear nor strife

There's a thin blue line, called the police
Who risk their lives to keep our peace
For those that fell we sing to you

And for those times, we wake inside the fire
Your bed won't become your funeral pyre
Thanks to the bravest heart that's true

And all around, the terrorists are scheming
To kill us all is the plot that they are dreaming
The U.S. Soldier fights the night to save the day

So to those who risk death to protect others
And leave behind their spouses, kids and mothers
It's for you heroes this hymn we play
