Heroes was inspired by ASA's performance for the Wounded Warrior Project and Tempered Steel, and the testimonies of the soldiers at the event.
Lyrics
HEROES – Alice Sweet Alice
He tells his story as if he's still standing there
Tells of his pain and his grief
He fought for each day, he fights through the nightmares
Praying for some sanity
He sacrificed life for an entire nation
Yet he struggles alone in his thoughts.
Memory replays the tragedy over
Reminds him of too many things
Feels like an alien in his own home
And he tries to pretend he's okay
The face he sees is a constant reminder
He sought whatever will help ease the pain
Chorus
Dont' just sit back and watch him fall to pieces
Don't you see he's dying inside
Isn't there anyone out there to help him
If only they'd only open their eyes
Its the least we can do
Heroes need Heroes too
Everyday he lives is a new day surviving
A win against thoughts of just giving up
Searching for some way to join in the normal
A slight ease of pain by filling his cup
Chorus
