Song Lyrics

---

Not just soldiers, but real heroes, in real heroes you will find
For only one or for a million, as the stars forever shine
They both paint a picture, they leave no man behind

I'm sure it broke their hearts to leave their families
But these soldier's call to duty was to keep this nation free
Someone's son, someone's father, someone's husband, now they're gone
Gone but not forgotten, for real heroes, they live on

Jumped into the line of fire, gave all they had to give
For it was their heart's desire to see their comrades live
A question of their honor, they upheld the Warrior Code
The truest of real heroes, for they carried the load

From the battlefield, in the frigid cold
Strength and pride revealed, as their story was told
Don't give up the fight, let real colors shine through
Old Glory, stars and stripes, the red, the white, the blue

(Spoken Word)
Looking eye to eye,seeing heart to heart
They all know we're coming back…
We leave no man behind.......

"We were honored to write this true song in memory of Sgt. Bradley Crose and others who died while trying rescue their wounded comrades, when a helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan. Bradley was only 22 years old, deeply religious and kind-hearted. He proudly served his country and paid the ultimate price in the name of freedom. We were able to give a copy of this tribute song to his mother. She should be very proud. Sgt. Bradley Crose was and will always be a real hero. Never forget the sacrifice. We Leave No Man Behind".

This song is on a very heartfelt 911 tribute CD which my late husband, Tlee Brooks, and I wrote following Sept. 11, 2001. It is on CD Baby.
