Our Heroes Deserve Their Fame

 

Our Heroes Deserve Their Fame 

Though our heroes deserve their fame, 
We can barely recall their names.
They were those who would bear the brunt 
When commanded to hold the front. 
Many years have already passed, 
Their renown will not turn to dust. 
Our memory will not fade if the living do reclaim 
This eternal flame

Take a look at these boys of mine 
In this picture, they stand in file
Young and brave, ever standing tall 
My dear friends that I still recall  
Some have barely turned twenty five 
But they've seen way too much in life  
Like a billow they rose, oh, what courage burned within  
When they took Berlin!  

There's someone in each family 
Who has gone down in history. 
And this old faded photograph 
Speaks to us now on their behalf. 
It's our duty to teach young men 
So they always look up to them. 
And new boys will stand tall once they have been shown the way.  
They shall not betray!
