Unsung Heroes
Honoring Unsung Heroes: Sacrifice Beyond Recognition
Lyrics
She could be married to a regular guy
Expresses that the woman could have married an ordinary man with a regular job.
Someone who works five days a week from nine to five How easy would her life have been
Describes a typical work life, contrasting it with the challenges the woman faces.
But no she fell in love with him
Highlights that she chose to love a military man, indicating a life filled with difficulties.
She wrestles with their children day after day And tries to make ends meet on military pay They say he could be home by fall
Indicates the husband's absence, and the woman's struggles with their kids and finances on military pay.
She lives and breathes for his next call
Emphasizes her anticipation and devotion to her husband through his calls.
Somewhere there’s a wife that’s crying For a husband somewhere fighting For a cause he might be dying for
Describes the emotional toll on military spouses, with a focus on the unseen sacrifices.
All the things that she goes through Never make the evening news
Points out that the challenges faced by military families rarely make it to the news.
So I’m singing this for all of those Unsung heroes
Declares the song is dedicated to all those who go unnoticed in their sacrifices (unsung heroes).
He left a good job fifth avenue
Tells of the husband leaving a secure job for his wife's calling or mission.
So she could do what she felt she was called to do And now she’s half way ‘round the world
Notes the wife's distant deployment, creating physical and emotional distance in their relationship.
If you think he don’t miss that girl
Acknowledges the husband's longing for his wife during her absence.
Somewhere there’s a husband crying For a wife somewhere fighting
Reflects the emotional struggles of husbands with wives serving in the military.
For a cause she might be dying for All the things that he goes through Never make the evening news
Highlights the hardships faced by wives in the military and the lack of media attention.
So I’m singing this for all of those Unsung heroes
Reiterates the dedication of the song to those who are not recognized for their sacrifices.
Mothers and fathers daughters and the sons They fight the toughest battles without a gun
Mentions the various roles (mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons) involved in military families.
Somewhere there’s someone that’s crying For someone somewhere fighting
Expresses the sadness of those left behind when someone is fighting for a cause.
For a cause they might be dying for
Continues the theme of individuals sacrificing for causes that often go unnoticed.
All the things that they go through
Reiterates that the struggles of these individuals rarely make it to the news.
Never make the evening news
Emphasizes the lack of media coverage for the challenges faced by military families.
So I’m singing this for all of those Unsung Heroes
Restates the dedication of the song to those who remain unsung heroes.
