             C                  F
She's on her own, two girls at home
          Am
Thirteen years just up and walked away
     F
And left her all alone
               C                 F
With bills to pay and mouths to feed
           Am                      C     F
And every day she's taking care of everybody
elses needs

           Dm
But she's finding her strength in the
C/E                       F
One love that won't ever leave her
       Dm                           C/E
So she works and she prays and she loves
                          F
and she stays cause they need her

Chorus:
               C                G    F
These are the heroes, just ordinary people
                   Am                      F
Laying down their lives like angels in disguise
                         C
They're weak but always willing
              G      F
They dare to do the hard things
           Am                   G           Dm
And in the dark and desperate places no one else
goes
                 Am   C F
You'll find the he - roes
                 Am   C F
You'll find the he - roes

He walks the halls, against the flow
He sees his high school as his mission field
Hes broken cause he knows
The hopeless road that they are taking
The empty feelings they are chasing only
lead to futures wasted
So hes willing to stand alone

He lives what he believes when they all
say its not worth believing
Every night on his knees, he prays God,
won't You please help me reach them?

Chorus

G              Am     F
You may never know their names
C                                      G
But they're moving mountains just the same
                     Am        F
Instead of searching for the spotlight
                C              F
They'll follow Jesus into the darkest night
C                                            F
Heroes, these are the heroes (These are the Heroes)

Chorus

Heroes, these are the heroes

In the board room with a Bible
In the classroom praying for revival
In third world countries, in downtown missions
