Written in August 99 as a gift to the summer staff and work crew volunteers at Young Life's Camp Malibu. Lovingly dedicated to them and the thousands others like them who give their time, talent, and energy to work at YL camps around the country so that high school kids can hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Most of my heroes are people who have little
All of my heroes are people who give
They are people I will very gladly follow
All because my heroes all know how to live
It is inward and upward, then outward, it seems they're always reaching
They value the small things they've been called to do
Most of my heroes are very simple people
All of my heroes look alot like you
All of my heroes are rich in imperfection
All of my heroes are richer still in grace
They are people who are weak and bruised and broken
But they know somehow they'll make it through the race
And if you brag on them like I'm trying to do
I can guess what they would say to you
Thanks a lot, and blush as if it's just not true
Most of my heroes are very simple people
All of my heroes look alot like you ...
