Real human being
And a real hero

Back against the wall at odds
With the strength of a militant cause
pursuit some called outstanding
Or [bad word] 

Against the grain of dystopic claims
On the thoughts your actions entertained
And you have proved to be

real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being

pilot on a cold, cold morn’
One-hundred fifty-five people on board
All safe and all rescued
From the slowly sinking ship

Where warmer than, his head so cool
In that tight bind knew what to do 
And you have proved to be

real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being

Real human being
Real human being
