lyrics

OUR EVERYDAY HEROES

Chorus
Everyday heroes you are one and all
In times of great danger you answered the call
You brave men and women you were ever so bold
Yes you’re everyday heroes with true hearts of gold

Shopkeepers and chemists you never do stall
Working from dawn, all day til nightfall
Cleaners and carers and postmen who haul
You give your best bravely so hold your heads tall
Everyday heroes each one of you all
Everyday heroes with your backs to the wall

When all this is over and we all meet again
There’ll be singing and laughter, though we’ve all felt the pain
We’ll embrace one another, thank God we’ve survived
And we’ll think on the fallen who gave up their lives
The brave doctors and nurses, the infirm and the old
They’re all everyday heroes if the truth it be told

Our everyday heroes you help keep us sane
While hapless politicians lie their way through the blame
The tally still rising, they don’t give a damn
No protection or testing you have to do what you can
So remember these actions when all this has died down
When payback and retribution will then come to town
