Everyday Hero

(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 --- Everyday Hero - Dolly Parton
