He drives in to the city works extra hard all day
He finishes up early so he can get away
Cause there's a blue eyed kid on second base
Wants dad to watch him play
Daddy knows he's waiting so he hurries on his way

Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don't know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some

She rocks her crying baby in the hours before dawn
She whispers words of hope to help her husband to hold on
She takes time with the children making sure they know she cares
She's more than just mamma she's the answer to their prayers

Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don't know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some

Now I don't pretend to know you but I bet it's safe to say
Someone out there somewhere looking up to you today
They see every thing you do except for your mistakes
You may not think you measure up but you've got all it takes

Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don't know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some

No one gives a medal the world don't know their name
But in someone's eye their heroes just the same
Yeah in some one eyes their heroes just the same

Back where we made our plans to tie the knot
My friends they all laughed at me a lot
They slapped my back and told me how they thought I was insane
They said son your too young to wear that ball and chain

Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don't know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some

But love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
When I'm close to you my heart feels wild and free
If you are my jailer darling throw away the key
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
Love don't free like a ball and chain
It don't feel like a ball and chain
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
Well I still see my single friends from time to time
And they ask me how it feels to walk the line
Well I tell 'em it feels better than I ever dreamed it would
And I would not trade places with era even if I could

Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don't know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some

Well if it is a crime for a man to love his wife
Throw that old book at me give me 99 to life
I'll spend every minute every hour every day
Holding you close I don't wanta get away

Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don't know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some

There are heroes you look up to on the movie screen
There are heroes that you read about in magazines
There are those on the talk shows, only out to make a name
Dignity be damned they want that 15 minute fame

You can find heroes wherever you choose
But some will never make it to the 6:00 news
They're just everyday people like me and you
Who open up their hearts and let their love shine through

Oh the everyday hero is someone that you and I know
They're not looking for the glory
Listen to their story

Everyday heroes are angels in disguise
You can feel it in their touch, see it in their eyes
They heal the world in anonymity
They're the spirit of our community

And they've already learned what you know is true
It's not what you say, it's what you do
And they'll do what it takes to get things done
Because they believe in the power of one

Every soul has a song to sing
Let your voices ring
You can count on the everyday hero
Who knows how to listen from the heart

The everyday hero...

Jeanette Arsenault wrote this song to recognize volunteers who put the spirit in community spirit.

“Everyday Heroes are angels in disguise.”

Some people have eyes to see a friend in need of help.
They love to reach out to those who can not help themselves.
Some people have ears to hear the cries of those in need.
They show us how much they care through quiet, simple deeds.

Ev'ry day heroes, live in ev'ry neighborhood.
Ev'ry day heroes, helping in the way neighbors should.
Giving just a little time, sharing just a little love.
God bless each one of those ev'ry day heroes.

Some people have helping hands that go the second mile.
They're willing to love and lift a brother for a while.
Some people have hearts that feel the hopelessness of man.
They're willing to walk with them until they're stong again.

Ev'ry day heroes, live in ev'ry neighborhood.
Ev'ry day heroes, helping in the way neighbors should.
Giving just a little time, sharing just a little love.
God bless each one of those ev'ry day heroes.

(1)Teach a child to read help a friend in need

Plant a flow'r or two

That's how it starts!

(2)Mend a broken fence, or a broken heart.

Give a part of you

That's how it starts!

Ev'ry day heroes, live in ev'ry neighborhood.
Ev'ry day heroes, helping in the way neighbors should.
Giving just a little time, sharing just a little love.
God bless each one of those
God bless each one of those
God bless each one of those
Ev'ry day heroes.
