Every Day Heroes

Our children laugh and play all day.

We watch and protect, so that they may.

Every day heroes in everyday lives,

Some could be husbands, some could be wives.

A father who teaches a child right from wrong,

A mother who holds them all night long.

While we protect the ones we love so deep,

There are heroes who protect us as we sleep.

A stranger wholl put his life on the line.

One wholl defend your rights and mine.

A husband, a father, a wife, a son.

People defending the freedom weve won.

Many are those who go far away,

So that here in safety, we may stay.

To the heroes that make sure that I sleep safe at night,

The brave souls that protect what is right,

I give you my thanks and to God Ill send a prayer.

While youre protecting me here, Ill ask that he protects you there.
