Lyrics

Heroic Measures

You don’t call yourself a hero
That’s not something that you do
This is the job that you have chosen
With people calling out to you

Heroic measures for extraordinary times
You face the mountain you make the climb

You might have family to come home to
They know so well what’s in your heart
You worry about them they worry about you
They know you’ll always do your part

Heroic measures for extraordinary times
You face the mountain you make the climb

I wish I could find supplies or a steady flow of gear
Or maybe I could clap my hands and make it all appear
But all I have is gratitude, seems like such a small thing
But you should know I am far from alone
Millions join this song I sing

Heroic measures for extraordinary times
You face the mountain you make the climb

And when the storm is over and the anxious edge has gone
We will all remember how you carried on

The days are long and you must be strong
So many counting on you
And here inside we’ll stem this tide
That’s the least we can do

Heroic measures for extraordinary times
You face the mountain you make the climb

You face the mountain you make the climb
