Fallen Heros

I've heard another one's gone for good
The press can sympathize
But do they really care
The way that people care

They did it all and paid the price
Believing that all was well
And trusted everyone
Now look at what that's done

They pushed their luck just once too often
And pulled the strings a bit too tight
And though we never got to know them
It's as though they grew up by our side

They did it all sacrificed themselves
So we could cry and laugh
As they died inside
Feelings they had to hide

Now that they're a memory
Everything that they did is profound
And even though they're gone
They'll always be around

There's just no way
That we can change things
What's done is done
And that is that

And though we never got
To know you
You made us feel
As though we had

Buddy Holly and Richie
Elvis and John
Brian Jones and Keith Moon
And all the other ones

Sinatra and Dino
Dinah and Cobain
Although you're gone
The memories remain

Belushi and Farley
John Candy and Bruce Lee
Marilyn and Jean Harlow
And both the Kennedys

Jimi Hendrix and Janis
Cass and Morrison
Freddy Mercury's gone now
We've lost another one

Fallen heroes we miss you
You'll never come again
You're dying is our loss
And heaven's gain

Fallen heroes we miss you
You'll never come again
You're dying is our loss
And heaven's gain
Fallen heroes we miss you
