Heroes In Our Midst
Words and Music by Dick Eastman

As Johnny’s marching off to war
All these talking heads keep score
Thinkin’ they know so much more than he does
While they pretend to play hardball
Johnny’s watched his brothers fall
This ain’t no game to him at all
Red, white and blue
Are more
than colors in the distant view
A flag that
stands for freedom proud and true
Is counting
on you
America has been attacked
Some step forward, some fall back
We thank
God for these
Heroes in our midst
Unsung, unknown,
Some that won’t be comin’ home
For all they
gave, we never will forget
Heroes in
our midst
Life is good in Hollywood
The stars are shining like they should
But there are times I wish we would remember
Those whose names are not in lights
Who fight to guarantee our rights
So we can dream and set our sights
On skies so blue
These heroes
risk their lives for me and you
The world’s
a better place for what they do
You know
that it’s true
America has been attacked
Some step forward, some fall back
We thank
God for these
Heroes in our midst
Unsung, unknown,
Some that won’t be comin’ home
For all they
gave, we never will forget
Heroes in our midst
To sons and daughters serving
We salute your sacrifice
In every
generation
There are those who pay the price
So we can
live in freedom
In this earthly paradise
America has been attacked
Some step forward, some fall back
We thank
God for these
Heroes in our midst
Unsung, unknown,
Some that won’t be comin’ home
For all they
gave, we never will forget
Heroes in our midst
