Everyday Hero

EVERYDAY HERO




There is nothing in this world he can't face

Footsteps to the path of peace he will try to trace

But the devastation of war is knocking on his door

and the voices of his country are asking for much more.




This man I speak of is an everyday hero

His life will amount to much more than zero

In his youth he stands tall and proud

His thoughts and beliefs he will speak aloud




The war will end and life will begin

On him now his wife and family will depend

A career he has gained, off to work he does go

While his wife stays home tending the seeds he did sew




This man I speak of is an everyday hero

His life now amounts to much more than zero

In his prime standing tall and proud

His thoughts and beliefs have been spoken aloud




Grandpa gave me oats when I was young

And He eased the pain when I was stung

There was no wound he couldn't heal

With hugs and kisses he let me steal




My grandpa is an everyday hero

His life has amounted to much more than zero

In late life he still stands tall and proud

His thoughts and beliefs are passed on to the crowd




Now his body is riddled with disease

And his pain, not one of us can ease

There is nothing more anyone can say

We all know he will soon go God's way




This man I speak of is an everyday hero

and though his body has been reduced to nearly zero

His spirit still stands tall and proud

His thoughts and beliefs are known by the crowd




For in Heaven he will be a teacher

His students will be many heavenly creatures

His spirit will guide us all the while

and watch over us through life's every mile




This man I speak of is an everyday hero

His life has amounted to much more than zero

His spirit will remain standing tall and proud

For his thoughts and beliefs will be passed on by the crowd.
