All is forgiven
When one side gives in
You know that it's over
And will happen again
Two sides, one victor
But who does decide
If a man died a hero
Regardless of side
A President taken down too soon
In a Dallas motorcade
A hero now has fallen
And to rest a hero's laid
Two more shot dead
No war involved
both supporters of a cause
The questions answer never solved
It makes us think, take time to pause
Another hero laid to rest
Now his time is done
Some are resting where they fell
And some in Arlington
It doesn't matter much to me
They fought for their beliefs
Now they lay where heroes lay
May their soul now find relief
A simple man with nothing
Just a family by his side
Gunned down by errant gun shots
He still deserves a hero's ride
What makes someone a hero
Not war, not even peace
The fact they are remembered
And the battle does not cease
Two men of music passed our way
Both died within a year
They were both considered heroes
Though one, you rarely hear
Man, woman or child
A hero has no age
No colour, race or interest
Will mark a hero's page
Another hero laid to rest
Now his time is done
Some are resting where they fell
And some in Arlington
It doesn't matter much to me
They fought for their beliefs
Now they lay where heroes lay
May their soul now find relief
