I wrote this song as a Soul-a-Gram for my friends at Songs for the Soul. A Soul-a-Gram is a direct message (via song) to healthcare workers during the covid-19 pandemic.
Lyrics
The world’s gone mad
like we’ve not seen before
they say, look for the helpers
as we weather the storm
Look for the helpers
yeah, I’m looking at you
working the front line
and guiding us through
Everyday heroes
with human faces
fighting the fight
from your work places
may you be known,
and celebrated
may your courage
be contagious
The world’s gone crazy
and there’s no turning back
you never signed up
for conditions this bad
but i hope you can hear us
from the window, wild applause
as we thank our lucky stars
that you are who you are
Everyday heroes
with human faces
fighting the fight
from your work places
may you be known,
and celebrated
may your courage
be contagious
We’re operating in a crisis state
like the rest of us, you’re worried and afraid
you’re overworked and underpaid
but you show up anyway
Everyday heroes
with human faces
fighting the good fight
with your good graces
may you be known,
may you be famous
may your courage be contagious
thank you
