[Dolly Parton - Everyday Hero lyrics]
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 'til 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
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
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

And a dream in our hearts that won't die
