I want my hero back.
Your smile is so beautiful
But now's under attack.
Oh, another storm has come
Has got you looking down.
Laughter absent from your throat
Oh, where is that beautiful sound?
Look up
Look up
Call upon the Lord Most High.
He understands your pain
And every tear you cry
Makes Him sadder
'Cause He knows you don't deserve this
Just wait and keep your faith
And there will be a reason
You endured this.
Oh mommy
Mommy, please don't cry
I don't know why he put you down.
How could he shade such pretty eyes
He must not know just
What he's found.
Just remember Jesus
'Cause He made it through the same.
He knew that He'd be persecuted
But He loved His children
So He came
To save and gave His life
And now He's happy
High in Paradise.
It's not fair
What you must bear
But put your hope in Christ
And you'll be happy.
Oh my, my, my
It hurts my arms to swim against the tide.
Just remember
When they spit on Him
Someone was always at His side.
If you remember Jesus
And how He made it through this life,
How He was happy 'cause He loved the Lord
With everything He was
You'll be alright.
Oh mommy
Mommy, please don't cry
I hate to see you sad.
Uncle Jimmy's watching you
Soon you'll be beside him
With our Dad
So when you're hurting
Just know, God will bring you through.
Jesus hung upon that cross
And smiled
Thinking lovely thoughts of you.
Oh mommy
Mommy, please don't cry
Wipe the sadness from your eyes
Cast your gaze upon the skies
Have trust in Jesus Christ
And you'll be happy.
