Lyrics
They had dreams they were chasing
Beyond their high school years
Their hearts were filled with good and doing the right thing
And they had no fears
They didn't know they'd be chosen
On that fateful day
To save the lives of their classroom friends
Caught in harm's way
It's always been someone who's gone off to war
Who earns that golden star
And now some brave neighborhood kids
Just set a higher bar
I never would have thought in a million years
That the day would come
When you'd walk into your school or worship at your church
And be up against a gun
It's always been someone who's gone off to war
Who earns that golden star
And now some brave neighborhood kids
Just set a higher bar
They didn't have time to think
They didn't even blink
I wonder what I would do if I were in their shoes
It's always been someone who's gone off to war
Who earns that golden star
And now some brave neighborhood kids
Just set a higher bar
