Hometown Heroes

[Verse] Old man by the highway, sign in hand, Life took a turn he didn't understand. Served his country, gave it all away, Now he's just a shadow in the light of day. [Verse 2] Lady at the corner, wrapped in worn-out clothes, Once served with honor, now nobody knows. Dreams of yesterday lost in the night, Looking for a beacon, a flicker of light. [Chorus] We're reaching out for our hometown heroes, Who gave us more than we'll ever know. From the battlefield to the city streets, We swore we'd stand with them, let's not retreat. [Verse 3] Café on a Sunday, warm coffee in hand, A little kindness can help them to stand. Showing some love with each passing day, A simple gesture goes a long way. [Verse 4] Shelter doors open, hearts full of grace, Together we can find a better place. For every sacrifice they made back then, It's time to lift them up again. [Chorus] We're reaching out for our hometown heroes, Who gave us more than we'll ever know. From the battlefield to the city streets, We swore we'd stand with them, let's not retreat.
