Couplet 1

She's on her own two girls at home
Thirteen years just up and walked away
And left her all alone

Couplet 2

With bills to pay
And mouths to feed
And every day she's taking care
Of everybody else's needs

Pré refrain

But she's 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

Refrain

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

Interlude

You'll find the heroes
You'll find the heroes

Couplet 3

He walks the halls against the flow
He sees his high school
As his mission field
He's broken 'cause he knows

Couplet 4

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

Pré refrain

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

Refrain

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

Interlude

You'll find the heroes
You'll find the heroes

Pont

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

Rupture

Heroes these are the heroes

Refrain

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

Interlude

You'll find the heroes
You'll find the heroes
