That a man can work so long
He didn't know till he had mouths to feed
He could ever be that strong
he pulls it from the shelf
And he thinks how he'd give anything
to just be somewhere else
But in one heroic mo ment
And with both his eyes still closed,
And reaching for the light he prays,
I know that this is nothing
with only aggravation to be had
What can a man look forward to
when he's had a week like that?
with lots of laughs and noisy company
And Joe says, let's hit happy hour,
But in one heroic moment, he says,
man deserves his nights out on his own
And as he turns to God he prays,
right now please be with me
I know that this is nothing
One heroic moment in an ordinary day
little steps along the way
He knows he must deny himself
for the man he needs to be
He's tempted to compare himself
To his friends and to the world
To complain she doesn't realize
She's tired and she's cross
And he'd like to switch the channel,
find the news, and just get lost
But in one heroic moment he says,
And he reaches for them all
And he thanks the Lord above,
as they surround him and he's healed
The burden here is sweet,
