everyday heroes

jamie's a highschool teacher, she wakes up every morning at the crack of dawn, and puts the coffee on, gives her lectures, grades those papers, the work ain't done when the last one's gone, she don't do it for the paycheck, anything at all would pay the bills, even on days her life's a train wreck, but she still loves those kids, thank god for the everyday heroes, for all you've done and for all you do, thank god for the everyday heroes, it's a better world because of you, joe's a highway worker, i saw him today when i drove by and the sun was hot, 100 degrees on that blacktop sweatin', he's out there working just getting by, he breaks his back to keep his family fed, it's all that matters much to him, tomorrow morning he'll roll out of bed, do it all again, thank god for the everyday heroes, for all you've done and for all you do, thank god for the everyday heroes, it's a better world because of you, there ain't no hall of fame, probably never know your name, they're everywhere around us, they're stories all the same, so here's to the cop that works the midnight beat, here's to the maid who cleans the hotel sheets, here's to the farmer harvestin' the fields, here's to the trucking haulin' 18 wheels, here's to the workers on the assembly line, the secretary, the firemen, and the men down in the mines, here's to everyone who does their part, i want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank god for the everyday heroes, for all you've done and for all you do, thank god for the everyday heroes, it's a better world because of you, thank god for the everyday heroes, for all you've done and for all you do, thank god for the everyday heroes, it's a better world because of you
