For all those who feel the pain
Of a tireless job, again and again
I salute you
For all single mothers all alone
Working and aching to the bone
I salute you
For all the soldiers away from family
Risking their life against a common enemy
I salute you
For all the nurses doing the hours godsend
Doing the night shift that never seems to end
I salute you
For the people reading this and relate
Knowing life can sometimes be a desperate state
I salute you
For all of you who find life can be a test
When you are out there and doing your best
I salute you

For all those who feel the pain
Of a tireless job, again and again
I salute you
For all single mothers all alone
Working and aching to the bone
I salute you
For all the soldiers away from family
Risking their life against a common enemy
I salute you
For all the nurses doing the hours godsend
Doing the night shift that never seems to end
I salute you
For the people reading this and relate
Knowing life can sometimes be a desperate state
I salute you
For all of you who find life can be a test
When you are out there and doing your best
I salute you
