Courage
by Flatfoot 56

Album: Black Thorn

Born to a fighter on the deep South side. A sweaty blue collar, but you didn’t mind. The cost of a family meant your blood and tears. Fourteen hours in a world of gears. Your daughter, your son, the joy of your life. They’re all that remain of your cherished wife. You bore the weight with a steadfast air. The world around you just didn’t care. Courage, your name means something to me. These heroes, they last through time. Courage, your name means something to me. A champion of the daily grind. Not because of a movie or a magazine, but because of your example you inspired me. Sacrifice in the midst of pain. You bring a tear to my eye when I hear your name. You hit the beaches in the Second World War. You carried it with you when you came home. Everyday was a courage fight. A colored soul in a world of white.
