Unsung heroes

It's a matter now of life or death on our town and city streets
for families living on the poverty line just trying to make ends meet
But, it's a painful choice, when you have no voice
to buy food or pay for heat
So it's times like this we clench a fist
and salute our unsung heroes

It takes a humble landlady to open up her heart
she says she saves one life at a time but she's only playing her part
so she uses her pub, as a community hub
to give homeless folk a fresh start
it's times like this we clench a fist
and salute our unsung heroes
Cos when you ask for help they say go to hell
and find somewhere else to sleep
So it's times like this we clench a fist
and salute our unsung heroes

It takes a justice fighting troubadour to stand up for what is right
He campaigns tirelessly to give those in the dark some light
he travels the land, a guitar in his hand
he will never give up the fight
it's times like this we clench a fist
and salute our unsung heroes

a pastor in a northern town feeds his flock out on the streets
under the lights tears in his eyes to help is what he believes
he delivers food to the neighbourhood
so they get something to eat
So it's times like this we clench a fist
and salute our unsung heroes
Cos when you ask for help they say go to hell
and find somewhere else to sleep
So it's times like this we clench a fist
and salute our unsung heroes

BREAK

It's still a matter of life and death on our town and city streets
for families living on the poverty line just trying to make ends meet
Cos when you ask for help they say go to hell
and find somewhere else to sleep
it's times like this we clench a fist
and salute our unsung heroes
it's times like this we clench a fist
and salute our unsung heroes
it's times like this we clench a fist
and salute our unsung heroes
