Near or far, in dark and light
Danger's there, try to steal your life
Who will stand, who will fight
Who will be the one to save you
Hero, you are my hero
I can't explain the way I feel
I heard the news today
Hero, well I don't know you
But you are there behind the flag
You wear tonight
A way of life, it's a call to arms
The unknown face on who we depend
Who will stand, who will fight
Who will be the one to save you
Hero, you are my hero
I can't explain the way I feel
I heard the news today
Hero, well I don't know you
But you are there behind the flag
You wear tonight
Hero, you are my hero
I can't explain the way I feel
I heard the news today
Hero, well I don't know you
But you are there behind the flag
You wear tonight
Hero, you are my hero
The words you hear, the song we sing
Is calling out tonight
Hero, well I don't know you
But we raise our hands and hold them high
Salute you here tonight
