Everyday Hero

He takes the train into the city

To him it's more than just a working day

Cause he knows he can change the world in his ordinary way

She's got a job, she has a family

She tries to keep them both together

She's barely getting by, saving everything she makes

Day by day it seems it's getting harder to win

How much longer, ready for their ship to come in

These are the times of the everyday hero

This is the battlefield of the working man

Trying to survive, staying alive, giving it all that he can

With a fire in his soul that keeps burning

And a dream in her heart that won't die

Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life

They started out as high school sweethearts

He promised her a life of luxury

And though they don't have riches they have everything they need

The eyes of her child are her diamonds

The gift of his love are her pearls

Together they plan, taking a stand to make this a better world

But never breaking, knowing that their dreams will begin

Getting stronger in each other's arms

These are the times of the everyday hero

This is the battlefield of the modern world

There's a spirit inside that keeps us alive, giving it all that we can

With a fire in our soul that keeps burning

And a dream in our hearts that won't die

Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life

Everybody has a special reason

There's a chosen road to follow

Just remember nothing good comes easy

Don't surrender till you you find your rainbow

These are the times of the everyday hero

This is the battlefield of the working man

Trying to survive, staying alive, giving it all that he can

With a fire in his soul that keeps burning

And a dream in her heart that won't die

Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life

These are the times of the everyday hero

This is the battlefield of the modern world

There's a spirit inside that keeps us alive, giving it all that we can

With a fire in our soul that keeps burning

And a dream in our hearts that won't die

Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life
