Forgotten Heroes

Her alarm goes off And she gets up to watch the morning news Doesn't work no more But tells a lot of stories 'bout her youth Drinks more lately And got pills in many different colors too Morning light is showing She moves the chair to look out at her view But a shop was built right across the street And it stands were the sunrise used to be In the afternoons on the couch to read Goes through old pictures and memories Our heroes have been forgotten Our heroes so brave and bold Our heroes have been forgotten Our heroes oh they got old Our heroes have been forgotten Our heroes so brave and bold Our heroes have been forgotten Our heroes oh they got old Our heroes oh they got old Our heroes oh they got old Smiles they fade because Her daughter only visits once a month Since she got a family of her own It's kept the two apart Used to have so many visitors But now the only one Is the nurse that helps her Move the chair to look out at the sun But a shop was built right across the street And it stands were the sunrise used to be In the afternoons on the couch to read Goes through old pictures and memories Our heroes have been forgotten Our heroes so brave and bold Our heroes have been forgotten Our heroes oh they got old Our heroes have been forgotten Our heroes so brave and bold Our heroes have been forgotten Our heroes oh they got old People don't stay the same you know I just hope their stories will still be told
