Obstacles, some are big and some seem just, insurmountable. Sometimes even heroes need a light shone in the right direction. A path through the darkness. A way around the obstacles. This is the true story of a local hero, and some of the lesser known heroes that help the hero emerge from tragedy.
Unsung Heroes
copyright 2023 Steve Smith (SOCAN)
He was lost and he was bro-ken
Knocked down way before his prime
Youthful dreams now seem so far away
How can he reach the finish line?
It’s when the hero needs a hero
To shine their light along the way
Illuminate the inspir-a-tion
That leads them to a better day
Chorus
Let’s salute the unsung heroes
Raise your glass and wish them well
Most people wouldn’t even know their names
But there’s a story left to tell
Gaining strength and gaining wis-dom
Only a few knew of his plan
Asked if he was fit and ready, he said
“Just try and catch me if you can”
It’s not a sprint, it’s a ma-rathon
To heal a country, not a man
He pushed through every kind of weather
And united this great land
Let’s salute the unsung heroes
Raise your glass and wish them well
Most people wouldn’t even know their names
But there’s a story left to tell
C’mon, Let’s salute the unsung heroes
The ones who helped to light the fire
That burned from Newfoundland to Thunder Bay
With painful purpose to inspire
Its when the hero needs a hero
Its when the hero needs a hero
Lets salute the unsung heroes
Don’t forget the unsung heroes
