Real human being

And a real hero

Back against the wall and odds

With the strength of a will and a cause

Your pursuits are called outstanding

your emotionally complex

Against the grain of dystopic claims

not the thoughts your actions entertain

and you have proved to be

A 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

A pilot on a cold, cold morn'

One-hundred fifty-five people on board

All safe and all rescued

From the slowly sinking ship

Water warmer than, his head so cool

In that tight bind knew what to do

And you have proved to be

A 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
