Person of the Year
Unsung Heroes: A Tribute to Selfless Acts
Lyrics
Vs1)
Intro to first verse (Vs1)
You'll never see her face on Time Magazine
She won't be featured on Time Magazine
But to me she's the person of the year
Despite that, she's incredibly important to me
She oughta wear a halo
She should be recognized as someone pure and good
Cause if there's one thing I know
I'm certain about one thing: she's like an angel among us
She's the closest thing to an angel down here
She embodies qualities close to those of an angel
Chorus
Start of chorus
She's an on her feet all-nighter (minor)
She tirelessly keeps going, always on her feet
A giver and a fighter
She's someone who gives and fights for others
She holds the hands of those with one last breath to give
She comforts those facing their last moments
Out there on the front line (minor)
She's in the forefront of a difficult situation
After work she'll have a good cry
Even after work, she emotionally processes her efforts
For the ones she tried to save that didn't live
She mourns those she couldn't rescue or help
Tired eyes behind a mask
Her tired eyes are hidden behind a mask she wears
Giving more than she gets back
She gives more than she receives
To me that's who a hero truly is
That, to me, embodies the true essence of a hero
Vs2)
Start of second verse (Vs2)
He's the fearless soldier on the battlefield
Depiction of a brave soldier in a battlefield context
Who goes in wearing gloves and royal blue
Describing the soldier's attire and dedication
Working overtime with no breaks
The soldier works tirelessly without taking breaks
With no concern for his sake
Without worrying about his own safety
Convinced he'll win the war if he does all that he can do
Believing his efforts will ensure victory in the war
Chorus 2)
Start of second chorus (Chorus 2)
He's an on his feet all-nighter (minor)
Similar attributes as described in the first chorus
A giver and a fighter
Continued portrayal of giving and fighting for others
He holds the hands of those with one last breath to give
Comforting those facing their last moments
Out there on the front line (minor)
Being actively involved in a challenging situation
After work he'll have a good cry
Emotional processing after work
For the ones he tried to save that didn't live
Grieving for those he couldn't save
Tired eyes behind a mask
Describing the fatigue hidden behind a mask
Giving more than he gets back
He gives more than he receives
To me that's who a hero truly is
Similar reflection on the true essence of a hero

Tag/Outro
You'll never see their faces on Time Magazine
Reiterating their lack of recognition in media
But to me they're the person of the year
But emphasizing their immense importance to the singer
