Lyrics:

\'Courage\'
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...
