lirik lagu shlomo dubin - heroes like you (a veterans day tribute)
[intro – spoken/soft rap]
yeah…
this one’s for the ones who stood tall when the world leaned heavy
for every silent sacrifice
we see you. we thank you
[verse 1 – rap]
left your street, left your name
for a cause, not for fame
packed a bag, kissed your kin
faced the storm, held it in
you saw things you don’t say
put your tomorrows on delay
for strangers you’d never meet
you bled courage in the heat
you gave us nights we sleep in peace
while you marched where wars don’t cease
now you walk with quiet grace—
a warrior soul in a peaceful place
[chorus – sung]
heroes like you, we can’t forget
you gave your all, with no regret
through fire and fear, you saw it through
the world is better ’cause of you
you held the light when skies were black
you carried hope on your back
we stand, we cheer, red, white, and blue—
we owe it all to heroes like you
[verse 2 – rap]
you missed the birthdays, first steps, tears
you battled doubt, and silenced fears
letters home, but heart stayed strong
you knew what’s right, and right from wrong
you walked through dust, through loss, through pain
through deserts dry and monsoon rain
you didn’t ask for love or praise
but we gon’ shout it anyway
you’re the shield, you’re the thread
in every flag that’s ever spread
you ain’t just vets—you family
the reason we define “free.”
[chorus – sung]
heroes like you, we can’t forget
you gave your all, with no regret
through fire and fear, you saw it through
the world is better ’cause of you
you held the light when skies were black
you carried hope on your back
we stand, we cheer, red, white, and blue—
we owe it all to heroes like you
[bridge – rap]
yeah, no cap, you’re the truth in the silence
grace in the chaos, calm in the violence
wrote the book on what it means to serve
gave the nation all you had, with nerve
now we honor your walk, your pain
your memories echo in our refrain
you ain’t alone, not now, not ever—
our gratitude? that lasts forever
[final chorus – sung]
(heroes like you…)
we won’t forget
you gave your all with no regret
(we live in the light that your courage made…)
through every trial, you stayed so true—
and we rise because of you
(yeah, from the front lines to your hometown streets…)
you’re the beat in freedom’s drum
you’re the reason we overcome
forever proud, forever true—
we salute the heroes…
the heroes like you
[outro – spoken softly]
to every veteran…
we see you
we thank you
we love you
