Headlights on, in the middle of the day,

Black cars creeping down an old highway,

American flags, salutes and waves,

That's how it is in a small town,

People lined up down both sides of the road,

As she passes by, the tears start to flow,

Cause she died fighting for the freedom that she knows,

And she won't be forgotten now,

Cause when a hero dies, God stands up,

The angels sing "Hallelujah",

Welcome home my child, you've done enough now rest awhile,

Even Jesus cries, when a hero dies,

Old man Parker, lives down the street,

We all thought he was cold and mean,

Til I found out he jumped into Normandy

And stared the devil in the face

Oh, the stories that he never told,

He didn't want glory, he just carried his load,

On the day he passed, all of heaven showed,

As he found amazing grace,

Chorus

It could be your preacher, or the clerk at the bank, or the old lady driving too slow down the street,

And when it happens, it just happens, no one really knows, who the next hero might be,

Chorus

Tag:  Even Jesus cries, when a hero dies.
