It is in the blood of the soldier In the words of the peaceful protester In the ever flowing wounds of the martyr In the actions of one standing against tyranny In the hope of one facing down the majority In the one who fights for the right of diversity It is the one who heals when everyone is wounding The one who stands when everyone is breaking The one who accepted steel in his flesh for the soul of his beloved The one who carried the weight Of our deaths on his back The one who loved us till he breathed his last.

What is a Hero?
It is in the blood of the soldier In the words of the peaceful protester In the ever flowing wounds of the martyr In the actions of one standing against tyranny In the hope of one facing down the majority In the one who fights for the right of diversity It is the one who heals when everyone is wounding The one who stands when everyone is breaking The one who accepted steel in his flesh for the soul of his beloved The one who carried the weight Of our deaths on his back The one who loved us till he breathed his last.
