Bigger Heroes ©2026 Ronald G Brown




In this world of bigger heroes, he was more than just a face
He was Daddy to a pair of little girls, their prince with a warm embrace
He was everything to the one he loved and his heart was truly hers
He was a friend who'd go fix a neighbor's car just to hear the engine purr


But you'll never see his bio on TV
His name won't be enshrined in history
Just a simple man who lived God's plan till his work was done
N' in this world of bigger heroes, to this lucky family, he was number one


He proudly served his country in the fields of Viet Nam
Came home a few months early with a medal and half a hand
Found a steady job at U.S. Steel drivin' an old forklift
Put both his girls through college with overtime and double shifts


Though, you'll never see his bio on TV
His name won't be enshrined in history
Just a simple man who lived God's plan till his work was done
N' in this world of bigger heroes, to a certain lucky few, he was number one


In this world of bigger heroes no one asked for his autograph
He never sold a single T-shirt with his name printed on the back
He was looked up to by those he knew, though he didn't stand ten feet tall...
Just five-foot-ten but bigger than the biggest of them all


No, you'll never see his bio on TV
His name won't be enshrined in history
Just a simple man who lived God's plan till his work was done
N' in this world of bigger heroes, to a certain lucky few, he was number one
