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 won`t 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
They're 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
Hes 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
it`s not worth believing
Every night on his knees
He prays God won`t
You please help me reach them
These are the heroes
just ordinary people
Laying down their lives like angels
in disguise
They're 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
You may never know their names
But they're moving mountains
just the same
Instead of searching
for the spotlight
They'll follow Jesus
into the darkest night
Heroes these are the heroes
these are the heroes
these are the heroes
ust ordinary people
Laying down their lives like angels
in disguise
They're 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
In the board room with a Bible
You'll find the heroes
In the classroom
praying for revival
You'll find the heroes
In third world countries
in downtown missions
You'll find the heroes
