brother will and kristofer simmons - extraordinary man lyrics
he lied about his age and joined the army to get away
just sixteen all dressed in green left his momma wavin’
she knew he had to leave this mess before it trapped him like the rest
found his boot print in the dirt, just outside the gate
covered it up with a piece of old wood and cried there every day
now he’s thirty-six with four kids at home there’s a war across the world
his woman can’t believe, but he’s gonna leave three sons and his little girl
he volunteered to join some boys in the fields of vietnam
she left his boots out in the hall, a reminder so she’d pray
everyday those kids would wear them boots around the house to play
there’s a hero in my house you might not know it just from lookin’
his back is bent, his hands are tired, and his eyes are growin’ old
what you see won’t tell the tale of a very simple plan
to give his life for those he loved as an extraordinary man
eighty-three, his children grown so much time has p-ssed him by
memories and used to be’s, some dreams are fading
help the sick, feed the poor, point the way to god
when tomorrow comes he’ll wing his way to his home up above
his yesterdays are safe inside the lives of those he loved
there’s a hero in my house you might not know it just from lookin’
his back is bent, his hands are tired, and his eyes are growin’ old
what you see won’t tell the tale of a very simple plan
to give his life for those he loved as an extraordinary man
take a look around your world, there’s heroes all around
dawn patrols, deserts wild, the lost who can’t be found
down the sidewalk corner store, the mother sayin’ prayers
take a look inside yourself, is there a hero in there?
there’s a hero, in my house, you might not know it just from looking, this man is growin’ old
what you see won’t tell the tale of a very simple plan
to give his life for those he loved as an extraordinary man
he lied about his age and joined the army to get away….
