Lyrics Flatfoot 56 - Courage

(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
