Everyday Heroes

Everyday Heroes Let’s talk about everyday Heroes Ordinary people like you and I People who do not always win But are always willing to try. People who go on everyday Making a positive contribution to all Doing their jobs as best they can Standing proud, straight and tall Firemen are unsung heroes Braving the wicked smoke and flame To save your lives and property Their bravery always the same. The policemen protect our vital laws And puts criminals in jails To save us all from constant danger Their courage seldom fails. Teachers educate our children all To improve our future world To read and write, subtract and add The history of our nation we are always told. The preachers of our local churches, Masques, Synagogues ad Temples Are always ready to listen and help And teach us by example. The doctors, nurses and volunteers Keep our hospitals working hard Saving lives and giving aide Help is never very far. Construction workers, engineers, scientists et al Consultants, coaches, pilots and their crews Soldiers, sailors and drivers in their trucks All contribute to our nation by freely expressing their views. Those who volunteer their time To make this world a better place Helping those in times of need Regardless of creed or race. They are our unsung heroes Who always help us to find our way Who deserve some recognition Each and everyday So raise your voices so you are heard And praise your friends old and new And thank your Lord high above For unsung heroes like you!
