About the Song

We have seen various hardworking men and women in different establishments or on the roads. Indeed, they portray real heroes. They spend their life working almost 9 hours a day just to provide the needs and wants of their family.

I can’t wait to get up in the mornin’
And do it all over again
Well I’m a hard livin’, hard workin’ man

The words mentioned above made me think of my mother. She works every day just to provide my needs and wants. The sweat, heat from the sun, dust, and smelly drainage she endures every day are living proof that she is indeed a superhero. She may not have wings to fly, but she can love and protect me more than a real superhero can do.

Let me take this moment to remind you all to hug or kiss your parents and tell them how much you love for at least a minute of your time. We are becoming too busy chasing our dreams, but we are forgetting that our parents are growing old too. They also need to be reminded by our love and protection.

To all Hardworking men and women out there, I salute you for all your great sacrifices!
