The man said, "Boys call home
Tonight's gonna be a long one
And I don't want to say it, but I will
Some of you may not see home again
Cause eight clicks north in a villiage in a valley
The mulla lays his head
Son, you lead them in and keep'em locked an loaded
If that man gets wind your comin'
He'll surprise you boys instead"
[Chorus]
Now I know what a hero looks like when he falls
Ron slapped my back then slipped away, hit his knees Blessed his family and his team
Cause God says all he has to say when a hero falls
About three hours later we were down in our postion when I heard Ron's voice on the radio, and he was sayin'
I've got to take another road, dogs bark too loudly Stirring up the night, I've made some decisions now
I'm prayin that their right
[Chorus]
Now I know what a hero sounds like when he calls
No fear for him, just for his men, voice of a lion heart Like a lamb, and he'll do all he can when a hero calls
[Bridge]
Shots rang out from the high ground
Grab the rifles, start the jeeps
Got there too late but just in time to see ...
