I saw them at the movies
A long time ago
At the time I didn’t understand
So this is how the story goes

He held her close in his arms
She held the tears back from her eyes
He said, you know the time has come Babe
And they kissed their last kiss goodbye

The train's on time, the whistle's blowing
And all the soldiers march on board
He took his seat by the window
And she could see the pride in all their eyes

(Chorus)
These are our heroes
May God watch over them
For it’s they who’ll pay the price
For our freedoms they defend

And I know that
Not all will make it back
To their loved ones waiting
And I’ll remember that
When on my way back
To my family waiting

So let’s stand together and be united
And show the world we can’t be divided
Cause the time has come again
When we’re asked to defend freedom

(Chorus)
These are our heroes
May God watch over them
For it’s they who’ll pay the price
For our freedoms they defend
