Heroes~

Men to Match My Mountains~

----------------------------------

Bring me men to match my mountains,
who'll struggle for the peak,
they'll stand for right unhampered ,
fight for the poor and weak.

Bring me men of action,
of morals and of strength.
Men with courage of conviction,
who'd go to any length.

Bring me men to match my mountains,
resolute and strong,
Those old time frontier heroes,
not seen in far too long.

Bring me men to match my mountains,
who knew that Higher Power,
Men of old , men of freedom,
to see us through our darkest hour.
