House Of Heroes - By Your Side Lyrics

Born in the plains a farmer's sons and brothers the same
Raised on promises we'd stay that way
As boys we believed summers at the sea
We were free to become men of goodwill side by side

And we were children then footprints in the sand
And where the ocean bends we made our promises
He knows

Duty soon called, 1943 we enrolled
Together we would be our family's pride

And we were soldiers then, our bodies in the sand
And like that sand through our hands go our grandest plans
And just to see your face for one moment
I'd cross the ocean again, the end is not the end

And I'll be by your side on the other side
I'll be by your side on the other side

And through the cloud of death we find our way back home
And though I hold your hand all must go alone
And when you see the face of our Maker
You don't have to be ashamed He knows the promises we made

And I'll be by your side on the other side
I'll be by your side on the other side
