Courage Lyrics

Check one. Check one, two...
This one's coming at your stereo....

Born to a fighter on the deep South side.
A sweaty blue collar, but you didn't mind.
The cost of a family meant your blood and tears.
Fourteen hours in a world of gears.
Your daughter, your son, the joy of your life.
They're all that remain of your cherished wife.
You bore the weight with a steadfast air.
The world around you just didn't care.

Courage, your name means something to me.
These heroes, they last through time.
Courage, your name means something to me.
A champion of the daily grind.

Not because of a movie or a magazine,
but because of your example you inspired me.
Sacrifice in the midst of pain.
You bring a tear to my eye when I hear your name.
You hit the beaches in the Second World War.
You carried it with you when you came home.
Everyday was a courage fight.
A colored soul in a world of white.

Courage, your name means something to me.
These heroes, they last through time.
Courage, your name means something to me.
A champion of the daily grind.
Not because of a movie or a magazine,
but because of your example you inspired me.
Sacrifice in the midst of pain.
You bring a tear to my eye when I hear your name...
Go...

Courage, it means something to me.
These heroes, they last through time.
Courage, your name means something to me.
A champion of the daily grind.

Courage, your name means something to me.
These heroes, they last through time.
Courage, your name means something to me.
A champion of the daily grind.
Not because of a movie or a magazine,
but because of your example you inspired me.
Sacrifice in the midst of pain.
You bring a tear to my eye when I hear your name...
