(B. Tosti/R. O'Hearn)
|
He takes the train into the city
|
To him it's more than just a working day
|
Cause he knows he can change the world in his ordinary way
|
She's got a job, she has a family
|
She tries to keep them both together
|
She's barely getting by, saving everything she makes
|
|
Day by day it seems it's getting harder to win
|
How much longer, ready for their ship to come in
|
|
These are the times of the everyday hero
|
This is the battlefield of the working man
|
Trying to survive, staying alive, giving it all that he can
|
With a fire in his soul that keeps burning
|
And a dream in her heart that won't die
|
Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life
|
|
They started out as high school sweethearts
|
He promised her a life of luxury
|
And though they don't have riches they have everything they need
|
The eyes of her child are her diamonds
|
The gift of his love are her pearls
|
Together they plan, taking a stand to make this a better world
|
|
But never breaking, knowing that their dreams will begin
|
Getting stronger in each other's arms
|
|
These are the times of the everyday hero
|
This is the battlefield of the modern world
|
There's a spirit inside that keeps us alive, giving it all that we can
|
With a fire in our soul that keeps burning
|
And a dream in our hearts that won't die
|
Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life
|
|
Everybody has a special reason
|
There's a chosen road to follow
|
Just remember nothing good comes easy
|
Don't surrender till you you find your rainbow
|
|
These are the times of the everyday hero
|
This is the battlefield of the working man
|
Trying to survive, staying alive, giving it all that he can
|
With a fire in his soul that keeps burning
|
And a dream in her heart that won't die
|
Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life
|
|
These are the times of the everyday hero
|
This is the battlefield of the modern world
|
There's a spirit inside that keeps us alive, giving it all that we can
|
With a fire in our soul that keeps burning
|
And a dream in our hearts that won't die
|
Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life
