Unsung hero
verse
I used to walk by the Mitchell house.
on my way to and from class.
I'd wave at the old man, he’d wave back.
Then one day I heard he’d passed.
pre chorus
I broke in and had a look around.
found newspaper clippings on a wall.
it seemed a brave man rescued people
disappeared with no trace at all.
chorus
He struck me as neither afraid nor brave.
and ordinary Joe.
it was hard to imagine that he was
an unsung hero.
verse
i was skating and fell through the ice
and woke up wrapped in a wool coat.
I couldn't remember who saved me.
he didn’t stay or leave a note.
pre chorus
in the clippings i found that story.
how a man saved me and then left.
I wondered if he was my hero?
the man who helped me to cheat death.
chorus
He struck me as neither afraid nor brave.
an ordinary joe.
it was hard to imagine that he was
an unsung hero.
Bridge
He ran into a burning building.
Came out with a child in his arms.
Again and again risked his life.
placed his own self at risk of harm.

"It seems a bit unrealistic if you knew Mitchell, you would break into his house.
And you would not know Mitchell: saving you living on the same block"
"But you have some good details in the song"
"I've never seen a song ending on a bridge " it could be a tag : which is a common structure "
