Courage

Check one. Check one, two...

This one’s coming at your stereo....

Born to a fighter on the deep South side.

A sweaty blue collar, but you didn’t mind.

The cost of a family meant your blood and tears.

Fourteen hours in a world of gears.

Your daughter, your son, the joy of your life.

They’re all that remain of your cherished wife.

You bore the weight with a steadfast air.

The world around you just didn’t care.

Courage, your name means something to me.

These heroes, they last through time.

Courage, your name means something to me.

A champion of the daily grind.

Not because of a movie or a magazine,

but because of your example you inspired me.

Sacrifice in the midst of pain.

You bring a tear to my eye when I hear your name.

You hit the beaches in the Second World War.

You carried it with you when you came home.

Everyday was a courage fight.

A colored soul in a world of white.

Courage, your name means something to me.

These heroes, they last through time.

Courage, your name means something to me.

A champion of the daily grind.

Not because of a movie or a magazine,

but because of your example you inspired me.

Sacrifice in the midst of pain.

You bring a tear to my eye when I hear your name...

Go...

Courage, it means something to me.

These heroes, they last through time.

Courage, your name means something to me.

A champion of the daily grind.

Courage, your name means something to me.

These heroes, they last through time.

Courage, your name means something to me.

A champion of the daily grind.

Not because of a movie or a magazine,

but because of your example you inspired me.

Sacrifice in the midst of pain.

You bring a tear to my eye when I hear your name...
