Blue-collar brave-heart
He’s got no medals
No badges on his
Coat-sleeve or lapel
Working class warrior
Seeking no glory
Fighting life’s battle
And doing it well
Obscure battalion
Work-force deployment
Picks up the armor
Of shovel or cart
Low-dollar hero
Invisible valor
Witnessed by He
Who sees into the heart
Courageous convoy
Gallant and glorious
Punching the clock
While nobody applauds
Silently sacrificing
Over and over
And over again because
This is love
Blue-collar brave-heart
He’s got no medals
No badges on his
Shirt-sleeve or lapel
Working class warrior
Seeking no glory
Fighting life’s battle
And doing it well
