Hero Above

I come to tell of a hero true
Who fought for me, who died for you
I come to tell of how he lost
His life which was liberty's cost

You see he was an honest man
Who always swore he loved this land
And so when came the call to fight
He swore he'd fly into the night

He was fast, and nimble too
His feats of war the enemy knew
His kills sent fear into their hearts
They swear his name the Angels harked

They say he was the bravest trained
To go and fight on that fateful day
They say he did not hold any fear
They called him stubborn, like a steer

They claim he was the quickest flight
His aid could always win the fight
Except on that day aformentioned
When they finally killed his engines

They shot him down, over the sea
He died to save our lives we lead
They say he died, they will always care
They say that life is never fair

A letter sent to his mother
A friend to tell his lifelong lover
His son was forced to grow up quick
His legacy will always stick

They tell his kids he died a hero
They tell them he was shot down by a zero
They try to tell them that this is war
And to hope for him there is something more

His children cry, his mother falls
His wife is bothered by many calls
It seems she never quite recovered
The tragic loss of her lover

When asked by news just how he died
Standing in the door, his son replies
He died a hero brave and true
To live forever more in the endless blue
