Lyrics
Heroes and heroines, are scarcer
Than they've ever been
So much more, to lose than win
The distance, never greater
Way back, when you made history
By flying planes, across the sea
Embarking, on your odyssey
You put away, the danger
Heaven bless, the one who flies
A pioneer, on frontier skies
The world was dark
And your only mark, was the light, of the Northern star
I imagine what was in your eyes
The seeds of rust, and days gone by
Your wings, hang in a gallery sky
I wonder, how you're flying
Way out, on the western plains
The snow drifts high, and the dust wind burns
The Chinooks blow their winds, across the mountains
A life that's never safe, and dry
Rodeos, and riding high
Ladies and their men, get by
On six-guns, and white lightning
Heaven bless them, on the road
Those drifters, and their dreams, of gold
The world was wide, and the cowboy's soul
Could span the whole horizon
I imagine, what was in your eye
The dust and the dirt, under outlaw skies
A piece of land, and a stubborn mind
Were the only things, worth having
Now, they say, the moon, is dust and ash
And California's, made of cash
We're waiting, for those hills to crash
Into the sparkling waters
Rain and snow, and sun and wind
You roamed the earth, and you spread your wings
And long ago, my heroes dreams
Belonged, to all God's creatures
Heaven bless the ones, who sleep
The ones who laugh, and the ones, who weep
Heaven bless, the ones who keep
Their bearings, strong and certain
And Lord, help the fool, who said
You'd better quit, while you're ahead
A dreamer born, is a hero
Bred on earth, and up in Heaven
And Lord, help the fool, who said
You'd better quit, while you're ahead
A dreamer born, is a hero
Bred on earth, and up in Heaven
