Silent Heroes

Rolling through another sunrise
People rushing in the morning light
Never knowing who kept yesterday
From falling apart overnight

They don’t walk in with a spotlight
They don’t ask the world to see
But somehow every quiet step
Holds up our history

Here’s to the ones in the shadows
Keeping the fire alive
They fix the cracks in the daylight
So the rest of us survive
Oh the silent heroes
Carrying more than we know
If the world keeps turning steady
It’s ’cause they never let go

Some hearts work without speaking
Building bridges made of care
Picking up the broken pieces
From lives too heavy to bear

Every smile they give a stranger
Every tear they never show
All the storms they walk right into
So we don’t have to go

Here’s to the ones in the shadows
Keeping the fire alive
They fix the cracks in the daylight
So the rest of us survive
Oh the silent heroes
Carrying more than we know
If the world keeps turning steady
It’s ’cause they never let go

And maybe they’ll never be famous
No statues carved in stone
But the truth is simple and ageless
They keep this world standing strong

So if tonight you feel a little stronger
Or the weight feels kinda light
Think about the hands that held you
When you were too tired to fight

Here’s to the ones in the shadows
Keeping the fire alive
They fix the cracks in the daylight
So the rest of us survive
Oh the silent heroes
Carrying more than we know
If the world keeps turning steady
It’s ’cause they never let go
Oh the silent heroes
Keeping us all afloat
We rise because they rise with us
Even if we never know
