Calloused hands, leathery and scarred.
Blood, sweat; never your second thought.
"Always put other first"
The only lesson you've ever taught.
Like the tide washing in and out,
You're the shore I walk on with no doubt.
You're the brick in the wall,
You're the wrench in my car,
You're the food on my plate,
You're the fire in my heart.
True heroes exist,
Stand proud,
True heroes exist,
You stand alone.
Tragedy came by flame,
With no one to blame,
You gritted your teeth,
Stand hard, "I'll always remain."
Covered in black, your vow to sustain.
Live your life ever day,
Never lose a step, fight through the strain.
True heroes exist,
Stand proud,
True heroes exist,
You stand alone
