Real human being, …being
and a real hero, hero…

Back against the wall and odds
With the strength of a will and a cause
Your pursuits are called “outstanding”
You’re emotionally complex.
 Against the grain of dystopic claims not the thoughts
Your actions entertain and you have proved to be
A real human being, and a real hero,
Real human being, and a real hero,
Real human being, and a real hero,
Real human being, and a real hero,
Real human being

A pilot on a cold, cold morn,
One hundred fifty-five people on board,
All safe and all rescued,
From the slowly sinking ship.
Water warmer than his head so cool
 In that tight bind knew what to do
A real human being, and a real hero,
Real human being, and a real hero,
Real human being, and a real hero,
Real human being, and a real hero,
Real human being,
Real human being,
Real human being
