You Are The Heroes

Song from the CD 'Cause Living's Pretty Sweet

Created by The Lynn Gross Discovery School

Written by our own performing arts teacher David Burger.

Performed by the students at P.S. 175 Grades 2-5.

Lyrics to You Are The Heroes:

You, you who get going every day, get some work done when you want to play: you are the heroes

And you, you who make just one person smile, not even thinking all the while that you are the heroes

Our parents who work so we have enough to eat and clothes on our back and shoes on our feet

The people who care for our bodies and our minds and teach us to be kind and do it all the time

You, you who are happy you are here to make others glad that you are near: you are the heroes

And you, you who shine at who you are, each of you is a superstar

You are the heroes, you are the heroes, you are the heroes, you are the heroes....
