Testo Heros And Heroines

Heros and heroinesare scarcer than they've ever beenSo much more to lose than win the distance never greaterWay back when you made history by flying planes across the seaEmbarking on your odysseyYou put away the dangerHeaven bless the one who flysA pioneer on frontier skiesThe world was dark and your only markWas the light of the northern starI imagine what was in your eyesThe seeds of rust and days gone byYour wings hang in a gallery sky I wonder how you're flyingWay out on the western plainsThe snow drifts high and the dust wind burnsThe chinooks blow their windsAcross the mountainsA life that's never safe and dry rodeos and riding highLadies and their men get by on six guns and white lightening.Heaven bless them on the road those drifters and their dreams of goldThe world was wide and a cowboy's song could span the whole horizonI imagine what was in your eyesThe dust and the dirt under out law skiesA piece of land and a stubborn mind were the only things worth havingNow they say the moon is dust and ash and California's made of cashWe're waiting for those hills to crash into sparkling watersRain and snow and sun and windYou roamed the earth and you spread your wingsLong ago my hero's dreams belonged to all God's creaturesHeaven bless the ones who sleepThe ones who laugh and the ones who weepHeaven bless the one who keep their bearings strong and certainAnd Lord help the fool who saidYou'd better quit while you're aheadA dreamer born is a hero bred on earth and up in heavenAnd Lord help the fool who saidYou'd better quit while you're aheadA dreamer born is a hero bred on earth and up in heaven
