They're just ordinary people
That do extraordinary things
The teacher that sees something great
In each and every child
The cancer clinic volunteer
Who always brings a smile
The stepdad that steps up
And loves 'em like his own
They're just ordinary people
That do extraordinary things
They don't have superpowers
They don't fly on wings
You might not even know their names
But they don't do it for the fame
They come in every size and shape
Not all heroes wear capes
The girl who gives a shelter dog
A second chance at life
The rescue team that doesn't sleep
Keeps searching through the night
The voice coming through the crisis line
Makes 'em feel a little less alone
They're just ordinary people
That do extraordinary things
They don't have superpowers
They don't fly on wings
You might not even know their names
But they don't do it for the fame
They come in every size and shape
Not all heroes wear capes
Those who wear the uniform
That make our country proud
Some still fighting demons
They can't talk about
And the ones left under crosses
A long long way from home
They're just ordinary people
That do extraordinary things
They don't have superpowers
They don't fly on wings
You might not even know their names
But they don't do it for the fame
They come in every size and shape
Not all heroes wear capes
They're just ordinary people
They come in every size and shape
Not all heroes wear capes
