Flatfoot 56 - Courage lyrics

rate me

(SPOKEN) Check one. Check one two.

This one's coming out your stereo

the way it was always meant to be sung.

Born to a fighter on the deep South side

A sweaty blue collar but you didnt 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

Theyre all that remain of your cherished wife

You bore the weight with a steadfast air

The world around you just didnt 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
