Highway of Heroes

The day I shipped out They numbered a dozen Upon my return Were a hundred or so From the coast and from the prairies I bet they keep coming Add one more name from Ontario 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 Or personal gain Seek no justification Its not part of my story And it offers No comfort to the ones who remain 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 took up my vocation I was called by my nation Without hesitation My answer I gave Now I am not wondering The things that I might have been I'm no consolation To the forgotten brave So 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 Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes People I love with their heads held low Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes True Patriot Love There was never more There was never more There was never more There was never more There was never more There was never more
