In the canyons of death
Friends lying in a daze
Silently fighting
Their way through the haze
Many unconscious
To all sights and sounds
Though they lie there unmoving
They are heroes all around
In apartments and wards
The angels descend
To cool a fever
To sit with a friend
To fill in the void
When no family is found
Though they'd never admit it
They are heroes all around
They're out there right now
Fighting a war
Creating miracles
Working for more
Their deeds unrewarded
Their glory uncrowned
No missions recorded
But they are heroes all around
We all can be heroes
by giving a hand
Running an errand
or making a stand
Let's fight heaven's sorrow
with feet on the ground
In a world for tommorrow
We need heroes all around
We need heroes
We need heroes
We need heroes
