UNLIKELY HERO by Dennis Ogle

You see him there everyday

Durin' your mornin' commute

Always standin' on the same street corner

tattered clothes and worn out boots

Carries a cardboard sign that says

I'll work for food

You never give the man a second thought

How would he have known it

When he woke up this mornin'

He'd be a different man in the eyes of everyone

That used to look down on him

Nobody knows this unlikely hero

Who really cares if his face has a name

whose gonna pray for this unlikely hero

Today the hands of the needy

Became the hands of fate

She was daddy's little girl

And she loved it when he'd drive her to school

The road was slick from the rain last night

He was takin' it slow and cool

Overloaded semi swerved into her daddy's lane

But she was pulled from the flames

By the hands of fate

How would he have known it

When he woke up this mornin'

He'd be a different man in the eyes of everyone

That used to look down on him

Nobody knows this unlikely hero

Who really cares if his face has a name

Who's gonna pray for this unlikely hero

today the hands of the needy

Became the hands of fate

It wasn't that long ago he was a young man

A young man with a dream, and an open road

to his destiny
