Heroes and heroines

Are scarcer than they've ever been

So much more to lose than win

The distance never greater

Way back when you made history

By flying planes across the sea

Embarking on your odyssey

You put away the danger

Heaven bless the one

Who flies a pioneer on frontier skies

The world was dark and your only mark

Was the light of the northern star

I imagine what was in your eyes

The seeds of rust and days gone by

Your wings hang in a gallery sky

I wonder how you're flying

Way out on the western plains

The snow drifts high

And the dust wind burns

The Chinooks blow

Their winds across the mountains

A life that's never safe and dry

Rodeos and riding high

Ladies and their men get

By on six-guns and white lightning

Heaven bless them on the road

Those drifters and their dreams of gold

The world was wide and the cowboy's

Soul could span the whole horizon

I imagine what was in your eyes

The dust and the dirt under outlaw skies

A piece of land and a stubborn mind

Were the only things worth having

Now they say the moon is dust and ash

And California's made of cash

We're waiting for those hills to crash

Into the sparkling waters

Rain and snow and sun and wind

You roamed the earth

And you spread your wings

And long ago my heroes dreams

Belonged to all God's creatures

Heaven bless the ones who sleep

The ones who laugh and the ones who weep

Heaven bless the ones

Who keep their bearings strong and certain

And Lord help the fool who said

You'd better quit while you're ahead

A dreamer born is a hero bred

On earth and up in Heaven

And Lord help the fool who said

You'd better quit while you're ahead

A dreamer born is a hero bred

On earth and up in Heaven
