Working Class Heroes
The world is full of working class heroes
Made up of every gender, shape and size.
Inspiring everyone, their strength bestows
They become the backbone of enterprise.
My father was my working-class hero
He passed on his ethics, in his workshop.
Urging each person to learn and to grow
Without them, trade will slow, maybe stop.
Working class heroes all make the world run
Stand side by side, sometimes on bended knee
With pride in their work, as fathers have done
The spine of humanity, you’ll agree.
As they stand tall, waiting, learning their trade
Working class heroes are lovingly made.
