Heroes

She's on her own, two girls at home Thirteen years just up and walked away And left her all alone With bills to pay and mouths to feed And every day she's taking care of everybody else's needs But she's finding her strength in the One love that won't ever leave her So she works and she prays and she loves and she stays 'cause they need her These are the heroes, just ordinary people Laying down their lives like angels in disguise They're weak but always willing They dare to do the hard things And in the dark and desperate places no one else goes You'll find the heroes You'll find the heroes He walks the halls, against the flow He sees his high school as his mission field He's broken 'cause he knows The hopeless road that they are taking The empty feelings they are chasing only lead to futures wasted So he's willing to stand alone He lives what he believes when they all say it's not worth believing Every night on his knees, he prays God, won't You please help me reach them? These are the heroes, just ordinary people Laying down their lives like angels in disguise They're weak but always willing They dare to do the hard things And in the dark and desperate places no one else goes You'll find the heroes You'll find the heroes You may never know their names But they're moving mountains just the same Instead of searching for the spotlight They'll follow Jesus into the darkest night Heroes, these are the heroes (These are the heroes) These are the heroes, just ordinary people Laying down their lives (Laying down their lives) Like angels in disguise (Like angels in disguise) They're weak but always willing They dare to do the hard things (Dare to do the hard things) And in the dark and desperate places no one else goes You'll find the heroes (In the board room with a Bible) You'll find the heroes (In the classroom praying for revival) You'll find the heroes (In third world countries, in downtown missions) You'll find the heroes --- Heroes - Casting Crowns
