"A Hero Among Many" lyrics

When a young child idolizes or emulates a role model, a parent
He may sometimes take a trinket to serve in everlasting memory
Of what that human meant to the child
This trinket brings comfort and strength
It acts as the child's armor it learns to face the hard realities of the cold, cold world

Survivor, they sing your praise and share your story
Survivor, they tell the tales of your glory
Survivor, of selflessness and bravery
Survivor, he was a hero among many
Survivor, they sing your praise and share your story
Survivor, they tell the tales of your glory
Of selflessness and bravery in the face of this tragedy
Was a hero among many and he wore the red bandana

Then your mom reached the word that a man they did describe as wearing your signature style
Over his nose and beneath his eyes, did not in fact flee the disaster
For he perished trying to save himself
He instead thought of others before his own safety and health
Make no mistake, this was no ordinary man

Survivor, they sing your praise and share your story
Survivor, they tell the tales of your glory
Survivor, of selflessness and bravery
Survivor, he was a hero among many
Survivor, they sing your praise and share your story
Survivor, they tell the tales of your glory
Of selflessness and bravery in the face of this tragedy
Was a hero among many and he wore the red bandana

The red bandana that covered his face
Kept the smoke from his lungs as he kept a mighty pace
Up and down those many flights with the victims on his shoulder
His sacrifice was buried beneath the rubble's smolder

Survivor, they sing your praise and share your story
Survivor, they tell the tales of your glory
Of selflessness and bravery in the face of this tragedy
Was a hero among many and he wore the red bandana
Survivor
