about

A song about heroes. Americans who are unsung and unknown but are the heroes never the less.

lyrics

American Hero

I never heard him talk about it, but he served his country well
Went war against great evil, suffered more than he could tell
I guess the honor guard surprised me,
As did the medals on his chest
And the man I knew as Grampa
Turned out to be one of his countries best

Where do you find an American Hero
Oh, they’re right beside us and we might not even know
How they were first to stand, or to lend a hand
Answer duties call, or stand up for us all
Where do you find, where do you find
An American Hero

She never thought that she could do it, when she answered the call
In the aftermath of such destruction, she couldn’t help them all
Her smile and her compassion never wavered,
But every night alone she had to cry
Still in there eyes she was an angel
As she helped rebuild so many shattered lives

Where do you find an American Hero
Oh, they’re right beside us and we might not even know
How they were first to stand, or to lend a hand
Answer duties call, or be there for us all
Where do you find, where do you find
An American Hero

She wouldn’t sit back where they told her
They fought back even when they knew they’d fall
When the hold high the torch of freedom
Well, they do it for us all

Where do you find an American Hero
Oh, they’re right beside us and we might not even know
How they were first to stand, or to lend a hand
Answer duties call, or be there for us all
Where do you find, where do you find
An American Hero
Where do you find, where do you find
An American Hero

Reuben Brock Nashville, Tennessee

I always knew I was destined to be a traveler and a collector of stories. My songs are the music I hear in my head that seems to me to have been a part of the stories all along. For the traveler, there's always the familiar, restless pull...the long road that awaits and yet flows into the past.

The first single release from the upcoming Reuben Brock DAMAGE studio album is NAIL AND HAMMER. ... more
