Flatfoot 56 - Courage lyrics

"Courage" Check one. Check one, two... This one's coming at your stereo....

Go... Courage, it means something to me These heroes, they last through time Courage, your name means something to me A champion of the daily grind 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...
