It was the struggle
not about what they were doing
a mother trying to keep her child pure
or a man holding an open hand to help others

They did what they did
fought against what the world told
Strong, brave, and doing their best
these were heroes

Results, don't matter
behind results are the efforts of the best
a mother raising her children in a ghetto
where one step to the left can be the end

Results, don't matter
a man was built for success
but instead he chose to raise the world
with each hand, he opened a door

Even somebody that never knew
that a better world could even exist
clung onto new hope when they saw not all were evil
abused, but not broken she struggled

These people were heroes
adversity was the only nature they knew
maybe some failed and they became evil
, but at least they tried
and that's all we can ask for.
There are great people that will do wonderful things, and then maybe one day they will not longer do those wonderful things, but at least in some point they did succeed.  We can only hope that we ourselves are heroes for at least a little.
