Highway of Heroes
By The Trews
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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus
I took up my vocation,
I was called by my nation.
Without hesitation,
My answer I gave.

I took up my vocation,

Without hesitation,
My answer I gave.
Now I am not wondering,
Bout the things that I might have been.
There's no consolation,
To the forgotten brave.
