Heroes

On the chalkboard in a classroom at PS 14
It's just social studies, science, and math
But to every single kid in her third grade glass
She's a hero
He's got a badge on a billfold in his kitchen drawer
He was just outta college when he joined the force
But to all his friends and neighbors, it sure means a lot
He's a hero
Yeah, a hero
Yeah, they're everyday angels
Here to help us when we need them most
Names and faces we may never know
Heroes
Yeah, heroes
Maybe it's a soldier on a foreign coast
A ballet teacher or a little league coach
We've all got 'em, they ain't hard to see
They're the first ones to get there and the last to leave
Heroes
Yeah, heroes
Yeah, they're everyday angels
Here to help us when we need them most
Names and faces we may never know
Heroes
Yeah, heroes
Yeah, they're everyday angels
Here to help us when we need them most
Names and faces we may never know
Heroes
Yeah, heroes
Everyday heroes
Oh, yeah
The song "Heroes" by Creative Vets is an ode to the everyday heroes who make a difference in our lives. The first verse is about a third-grade teacher who has been teaching for thirty years. While her job may seem mundane to some, her impact on the children in her class has been tremendous. The students view her as a hero because she has dedicated her life to molding young minds and teaching them about the world around them.
The second verse is about a police officer, who, like the teacher, is doing his job but means a lot to his community. The badge he carries represents his commitment to keeping his community safe. Though he may not realize it, to his friends and neighbors, he is a hero. The chorus repeats the idea that heroes come in many forms and are often not recognized for the impact they have on our lives.
The third verse continues with this idea, listing various examples of heroes, from soldiers to dance teachers to little league coaches. The song recognizes that heroes are all around us and we may never know their names or understand the impact they have on our lives. The song ends with a final refrain of "Everyday heroes", emphasizing that these heroes are not just found in movies or comic books but are present in our everyday lives.
Overall, "Heroes" is a tribute to the unsung heroes in our lives who make daily sacrifices and contributions to our well-being. These heroes may be ordinary people doing ordinary jobs, but their impact on our lives is immeasurable.
