The heroes of today are not the heroes of yesterday
The heroes of yesterday had a purpose
They had a goal had a loud voice
The heroes of today have only agents
Telling them where to go what to say
What is popular is their way of life
The heroes of yesterday
Stood up when other sat down
They told the truth
As others believed the lies
The heroes of today
Live for the popular movement
Become heroes off others tragedy
While they ware fashionable ribbon on their lapel
Comparing heroes of then and now
Are like comparing apples to oranges
The real heroes are not seen
They’re not really loud
A hero gives of them selves
A hero gives of their lives
Givers of truth, but given so little
In the front lines of life
Truth is their life
