(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 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 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 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 
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
