I received an email from singer/songwriter Dick Eastman earlier today with a link to his website spotlighting his latest song, Heroes In Our Midst. I uploaded the song here for your listening pleasure, however, I’m somewhat limited on bandwidth so if it doesn’t play I apologize. You can also hear the song at Dick Eastman’s site. Either way, you need to hear it.
Heroes In Our Midst
Words and Music by Dick Eastman
© 2006 Dick Eastman Music/ASCAP
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 & 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 & 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
