Analysis of Heroes
Great heroes, big and small
Can't say when they'll be back again.
Now it's hard to say whether they are alive, or dead
So many miles away.
How can they tell their loved ones good-night, "hope I stay alive to talk to you another night?"
Now I can tell you sometimes they don't talk that much, anyway.
