Everyday Hero - Dolly Parton

Written by：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

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

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

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
