Story Behind The Song
The song was inspired by little acts of human kindness that go almost unnoticed until you're down and then these very simple acts can make a difference in your life. Sometimes, kindness comes from the most unlikely people. Other times, we take for grante

Lyrics
I Believe in the Ordinary Hero
(Re-vised: Sept. 2005)
Written by: Lisa Courtney, BMI Songwriter
The Ordinary Hero
May be someone that you know
Dad or mother, sis, or brother
Or the man who lives next door.
He may not be a super-star
Or have a purple heart
But he's always there to lend a hand
A candle in the dark.
Chorus:
You may not believe
How our lives are intertwined
From the brightest to the tiniest
Well, that's alright with me
I believe...in
The Ordinary Hero
May be someone you meet by chance
A guardian angel in disguise
Someone watching over you.
His kindness is not a single act
But the fabric of his life
He may never know the mark he leaves
He may even save a life.
Chorus:
Now you may be a critc
And you may not believe
In the power of the human spirit
Well, that's alright by me
I believe...in
The Ordinary Hero
Maybe someone just like you
An ordinary Joe going about his day
Trying to make a buck or two.
But he has the courage to do what's right
No matter what the price
Cause he represents the best of Man-
Kind and all humanity.
Chorus:
You may not believe
How our lives are intertwined
From the brightest to the tiniest
But that's alright by me
Cause I believe...
In the Ordinary Hero in you.
I believe..
In the Ordinary Hero
In our lives.
