The song People Who Care by Hayes Carll is about the unsung heroes in our communities who go out of their way to help others, not for recognition or reward, but simply because it's the right thing to do. The lyrics tell the stories of individuals such as Tommy who helps Miss Mary with her groceries and yard work, Amy who volunteers at the food bank, and Jesse who is always there to help after a storm. These people, and many others like them, are the people who care. They don't do it for the money, the praise, or the glory, but simply because they see a need and want to make a difference. The song acknowledges and honors these everyday heroes who make our world a better place, and encourages us all to follow their example and be people who care.
