Heaven Was Needing A Hero - fallen soldier tribute Video

This was made in memory of all those lost in war both past and present. I hope this video touches everyone who has lost someone in their lives. It's not only a tribute to those who put their lives on the line each and every day for we as a people, it's also for all the sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, grandfathers and grandmothers and our friends that were taken from us too soon. May their memory live on in our hearts for all time. If you've lost a loved one feel free to leave a tribute to them in the comments. Here's to all the heroes in heaven. May your memory never be forgotten.

Song is sung by Jo? Dee Messina... lyrics below...

I came by today to see you
I just had to let you know
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time
I'd have held you, and never let go

Oh, it's kept me awake nights, wondering
I lie in the dark, just asking why
I've always been told
You won't be called home
Until it's your time

I guess heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is heaven was needing a hero
Like you

I remember the last time I saw you
Oh, you held your head up proud
I laughed inside
When I saw how you were standing out in the crowd
Your such a part of who I am
Now that part will just be void
No matter how much I need you now
Heaven needed you more

Cause heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is heaven was needing a hero
Like you

Is Heaven was needing a hero
and that's you

Beautiful tribute. Thanks for posting. As our troops come home, lets help make sure they get all the help they need. Please check out my video and song, Soldier Boy (search Stu Aspinall). I wrote the song after being inspired by the story of a young soldier who came home fighting PTSD and eventually lost that battle.?

Did you know 25% of homeless people are veterans, and only 11% of the general public in America is a veteran? Our soldiers? deserve better than this...
