The day I shipped out
They numbered a dozen.
Upon my return
Were a hundred or so.
From the coast and the prairies
I bet they keep coming.
But add one more name from Ontario.

Chorus:
Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their flags flying low.
Carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love
There was never more.

I served with distinction
No visions of glory.
I served without question
Or personal gain.
Seek no justification
Its not part of my story.
No comfort to the ones who remain.

Chorus:
Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their flags flying low.
Carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love
There was never more.

I took up my vocation
I was called by my nation.
Without hesitation
My answer I gave.
Now I am not wondering
Bout the things that I might have been.
There's no consolation
To the forgotten brave.

Chorus:
Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their flags held low.
Carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love
There was never more.

Chorus:
Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People I love with their heads held low.
Carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love
There was never more x 6
