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 shes taking care of everybody elses needs

But shes finding her strength in the one love that wont 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

Theyre 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 its not worth believing

Every night on his knees, he prays god, wont you please help me reach them?

You may never know their names

But theyre moving mountains just the same

Instead of searching for the spotlight

Theyll follow Jesus into the darkest night

Heroes, these are the heroes

In the board room with a bible

In the classroom praying for revival

In third world countries, in downtown missions
