I do not want to be a hero
Why did they shoot at my good friend
His body lies beside me it is time for us to go
Screaming people running to and fro
Crying fearing terror will not end
I do not want to be a hero
Pride and courage I must show
Though my buddy’s body will not mend
His body lies beside me it is time for us to go
My rifle spits a deadly blow
Against the horror they would send
I do not want to be a hero
The tears will drench my pillow
I fear the nightmares will not end
His body lies beside me it is time for us to go
Dodging bullets my head stays low
Chopper landing screeching in the wind
I do not want to be a hero
His body lies beside me it is time for us to go
