Songs about Heroes or Heroines
Just trying to think up a new song topic, so maybe try this one. Think of songs about your heros or heroines. Songs may have hero in the title or lyrics (those are easy), but others may be inferred by something a person has done, or be in reference to a particular person. Be creative!
So here are my first picks to get started -
Holding Out for a Hero - Bonnie Tyler
Candle in the Wind - Elton John (in reference to Marilyn Monroe and later Lady Diana)

Searching for songs of Volunteer Firefighters, found on youtube "Volunteer Firemen" by John Bigum:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvhaAKk_ZUE
Most U.S. served by volunteers, who rush away from normal job, family, sleep, whatever to risk self helping others. Gratful to them, plus thanks for supportive jobs.
I'm now retired from paid fire department. Many volunteers "professional" performances, while serving without pay nor what most classify as benefits.
