Heroes Unsung

Heroes Unsung
Words & Music by Steve Siler

Without a thought for yourselves
You race into the fires of hell
Unselfishly you sacrifice
and give your all to save our lives/ a life
Anonymity’s a pale reward
for all the things you’ve done
Heroes Unsung

You’ve seen the worst the world can give
You hold inside what you can’t forget
The armor grows to block the pain
It’s just so hard to communicate
And you never thought you’d burn out
But sometimes you feel numb
Heroes Unsung

With uncommon acts of bravery
You rush into harm’s way
Giving something to the rest of us
There is no way to repay
Have we taken you for granted
Without counting up the cost
’cause every time we lose even one of you
The best of us is lost

You’re a human being with hopes and dreams
You’ve got a name and a family
If we never stopped to tell you thanks
That day has finally come
Heroes Unsung
You’ll be honored for eternity
When all of heaven’s stars are strung
Heroes Unsung

I think the CD is marvelous. When I first heard the song it made me realize that somebody really knows what I am going through. I don’t feel alone anymore.

Kevin H., Retired Police Officer, Crisis advisor for VA Police Departments

I was honored with a surprise celebration acknowledging my 35 years of service to the Newtown Township Police Department. As part of the Invocation, our Chaplain had gained permission for the use of the beautiful song Heroes Unsung. As I looked around the room, I could see the emotions on the faces of everyone, especially my fellow officers. I will never forget that privilege.

Norman Moorhead, Captain, Newtown Township Police Department, Newtown, PA

I felt the presence of God listening to Heroes Unsung …not in some remote way but in a very powerful way.

Larry Malone, former Viet Nam fighter pilot, Nashville, TN

Heroes Unsung is practically worn out because I have played it so many times.

Beverly Anderson, Washington, DC

As a Police Chaplain I strive to serve officers I work with in positive, self-affirming ways. I played Heroes Unsung for them and gave each officer a bookmark with the words to the song printed on it. At the bottom of the bookmark I added “You are no longer unsung.” We hear about ‘bad cops’ in the news every day. Heroes Unsung reminds the ‘good cops’ that THEY are appreciated and valued.

Judith Joseph, M.A., M. Div., Chaplain / Bereavement and Trauma
