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 gettin' by saving everything she makes

Day by day it seems it's gettin' harder to win

Hown 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

Tryin' 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

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 pearl

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



There are the times of the everyday hero...



Everybody has a special reason there's a chosen road to follow

Just remember nothing good comes easy

Don't surrender till you find your rainbow

[ guitar ]

These are the times of the everyday hero...
