about

God Came Stronger to us to write this song than any other song that we have ever written. It is to honor the very brave HERO'S, both the murdered and the survivors, of that horrible day in Tucson, Az.
But there has been even more of these senseless shootings, and the latest, the bombings in Boston, that we want to honor everyone of the HERO'S of ALL of the tragedies with this song. May God Bless You All and You are ALWAYS in our thoughts and prayers.

lyrics

HERO’S
© GLENN MARTIN AND BETTY MARTIN 2011

THERE WAS A MEETING AND PEOPLE WERE GATHERED

ON THAT SATURDAY

THEY WERE THERE TO MEET HER IN PERSON

AT THE SAFEWAY

STANDING IN LINE, WAITING THEIR TURN

WANTING TO HEAR WHAT THEY COULD LEARN

CONGRESS ON THE CORNER WAS WHY THEY CAME

AND EVERYONE KNEW HER NAME

YES, THEY ALL KNEW HER NAME


THE CROWD WAS MADE UP OF ALL DIFFERENT AGES

INCLUDING A NINE YEAR OLD

OLDER COUPLES AND PEOPLE IN COLLEGE

TALKING ABOUT THINGS THEY KNOW

A JUDGE WHO KNEW HER HAD STOPPED THERE, TOO

TO SAY HELLO, AND SEE WHAT HE COULD DO

ALL OF THE PEOPLE COULD SAY THE SAME

EVERYONE KNEW HER NAME

YES, THEY ALL KNEW HER NAME


ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE SHOTS STARTED FIRING

TO EVERYONE’S SHOCK AND SURPRISE

DUCKING FOR COVER, TRYING TO SAVE EACH OTHER

WHEN THEY REALIZED. YES, THEY REALIZED.

THE SHOOTER HAD STOPPED SO THEY LOOKED AROUND

A COLONEL AND OTHERS HAD HIM ON THE GROUND


PEOPLE WERE HURT, TRYING TO STOP THE PAIN

HERO’S THEY BECAME

YES, HERO’S THEY ALL BECAME

WHEN IT WAS OVER ALL CAME TOGETHER

TO TRY TO SAVE THEIR LIVES

ONE HOLDING HER HEAD UP, STOP THE BLEEDING OF OTHERS

THE MAN WHO SAVED HIS WIFE

WORKING AT IT AS FAST AS THEY COULD

DOING EVERYTHING JUST AS THEY SHOULD

ACTING AS IF FOR THIS THEY WERE TRAINED

HERO’S THEY BECAME

YES, HERO’S THEY ALL BECAME


PEOPLE REMEMBERED ALL OF THE MESSAGES

THAT CERTAIN ONES DID SEND

PROMOTING HATRED, SHOOTING AND KILLING

THESE WOULD HAVE TO END, YES THESE WOULD HAVE TO END

AND FOR THE GOOD THAT YOU HAVE DONE

THE ONES WHO WERE THERE IN TUCSON

MAY GOD BLESS YOUR NAMES

AND THE HERO’S YOU BECAME

YES THE HERO’S YOU ALL BECAME

THE HERO’S YOU ALL BECAME

THE HERO’S YOU ALL BECAME
