Highway of Heroes

The day I shipped out

They numbered a dozen

Upon my return

Were a hundred or so

From the coast and from the prairies

I bet they keep coming

Add one more name from Ontario

And carry me home down The Highway of Heroes

People above with their flags flying low

Carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes

True patriot love

There was never more

I served with distinction

No visions of glory

I served without question

Or personal gain

Seek no justification

It's not part of my story

And it offers no comfort to the ones who remain

Just carry me home down The Highway of Heroes

People above with their flags flying low

Carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes

True patriot love

There was never more

I took up my vocation

I was called by my nation

Without hesitation

My answer I gave

Now I'm not wondering

The things that I might have been

I'm no consolation

To the forgotten brave

So carry me home down The Highway of Heroes

People above with their flags flying low

Carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes

True patriot love

There was never more

Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes

People I love with their heads held low

And carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes

True patriot love

There was never more

There was never more

There was never more

There was never more

There was never more

There was never more
