Everyday Hero

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
