We're defended by our heroes
From sea to shining sea
Fighting for our freedom
Looking out for you and me
We think of all you gave us
How you were there to save us so we'd see
You risked your life so we could all live free
But our heroes never die
Your spirit fills the sky
Your presence truly blessed us from the start
You will never truly vanish from our hearts
No, you'll never truly vanish from our hearts
We're defended by our heroes
He stood among the best
Protecting us from evil,
You rose above the rest
And though we could see through you
It seems we hardly knew you, we confess
Thanks to what you've done
We've all been blessed
But our heroes never die
Your spirit fills the sky
Your presence truly blessed us from the start
You will never truly vanish from our hearts
And though my soul is aching
Deep inside my heart is breaking
Nothing is the same since you've been gone
No, I don't think I can take it
I don't know how I make it
When I'm beaten up and think I can't go on
But then I think of all you gave us
And I realize that you've saved us
The power of your memory will grow strong
‘Cause our heroes never die
Your spirit fills the sky
Your presence truly blessed us from the start
You will never truly vanish from our hearts
You will never truly vanish from our hearts
