Hero Lyrics - Singles - Keni Thomas

Just 18, growing up on the wrong side of the law 

Somewhere, someday knew hed have to rise above it all 

Told his family hes gonna go fight for his land 

Little brother can hold down the farm, and Mama please understand 

Mama begged him not to go 

Mama lost her little boy, but a country gained a hero 

The desert air hit him square in the face, and boy you were right 

Somewhere in between the fight he finally new what it meant to be alive 

He was just 3 years shy of 21, and they gave that boy a gun 

Mama begged him not to go 

Mama lost her little boy, but a country gained a hero 

Yeah, well, some say a hero is born to be brave 

But Im here to tell you that a hero is a scared man that dont walk away 

Mama sits by the flag of the USA 

Tears well up in her eyes as she bows her head to pray 

And she says, Son, I know you had to go 

But mama lost her little boy, but a country gained a hero
