Heroes

Today he draws a breath Wonders why he does Reflected image is it he Wonders if it ever was From the rhythm of his own heart beating His assurance to trust He has reached out He's looked within He's always searching for the truth From full-color animation To black and white, cold and aloof But today that does not matter There's no need for proof The reason for being Seeing isn't always believing And his thoughts flow To his heroes From the heat of the sun To the pouring rain Their medicine heals his pain And in his blood it flows Because of heroes To dream of diamonds Only to wake in their dust Consumed and wanting it all Consumed by lust It wears on the beauty inside It's as sleepless as rust To be there to listen and to love An offering of what's right Your foundation's strong When your walls come crashing down How do you put up the fight? You are all the colors of the rainbow You're a complete ray of light In the middle of the night with your light on How I pray that you are well All this time working the fields You nursed, you healed us You let us think for ourselves I was thinking that I've never told you You are my hero So here's to my heroes I love you
