A Song for Unsung Heroes

We sang this song in academy and I’ve always loved the lyrics because they’re so powerful. So, I thought I’d share them.

Let us sing for unsung heroes, Those who lay their dreams aside. Choosing honor more than glory Pledging faith with quiet pride. Those whose uniform is courage yet are unashamed of tears. Finding in their love of freedom power stronger than their fears. Sing a song for unsung heroes; sing from sea to shining sea. As the faithful sang before you, sing the song of liberty. Let us sing for unsung heroes, those who answer freedom’s call. Those united by one purpose: All for one and one for all. We will sing and not be silenced. We will keep our voices strong. For as long as we keep singing, freedom’s cry will still live on. Sing a song for unsung heroes; sing from sea to shining sea. As the faithful sang before you, sing the song of liberty.

Sing a song of liberty!

My country tis of thee, [America] Sweet land of liberty, [Land of liberty] Of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died! [Sing America!] Land of the Pilgrim’s pride! [Sing America] [Sing it] From every mountain side, Let freedom ring!

America.

A lot of people were disappointed in Cedar Cove’s final season. But I thought it was mint, if only because Bob Beldon was such a riot. I really only watched for Bob & Peggy. It is what it is. #Bob Beldon #Cedar Cove #Bruce Boxleitner #Bruce-a-Day

If I hadn’t already been in love with Mr. B from all the way back to “How the West Was Won,” this scene from the pilot of Scarecrow & Mrs. King would have done it. OMG. I can’t even. #Lee Stetson #Scarecrow & Mrs. King #Bruce Boxleitner #Bruce-a-Day

I believe this is the buffest Mr. B has ever been. Must have been all that swinging from vines he was doing as Frank Buck. #Bruce Boxleitner #Bruce-a-Day

This seems like the sort of testosterone-intensive role that Mr. B loves to play. Even if he had to wear a funny hat.

I’m a fool for puppy eyes. It is what it is. #Bob Beldon, #Cedar Cove, #Bruce Boxleitner, #Bruce-a-Day

Bad Timing

[unduefolly]

Based on a few snatches of melody I’ve heard from the man in various roles over the years, I suspect Bruce has a prett decent singing voice. But somehow I don’t expect we’ll ever see him in a musical. Not manly. #Baltimore Bullet, #Bruce Boxleitner, #Bruce-a-Day

Bob Beldon dispensing sage advice. It’s what he does. Did. Curse you, Hallmark! #Cedar Cove #Bob Beldon #Bruce Boxleitner #Bruce-a-Day
