She's on her own, two girls at home

Thirteen years just up and walked away

And left her all alone

With bills to pay and mouths to feed

And every day she's taking care of

Everybody else's needs

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

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

You'll find the heroes

You'll find the heroes

He walks the halls, against the flow

He sees his high school as his mission field

He's broken 'cause he knows

The hopeless roads that they are taking

The empty feelings they are chasing

Only lead to futures wasted

So he's willing to stand alone

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?

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

You'll find the heroes

You'll find the heroes

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

Heroes, these are the heroes

These are the heroes

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

You'll find the heroes (In the board room with a Bible)

You'll find the heroes (In the classroom praying for revival)

You'll find the heroes (In third world countries, in downtown missions)

You'll find the heroes
