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
 You're emotionally complex
 Against the grain of dystopic claims
 Not the thoughts your actions entertain
 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

 Water 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
