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!
