Intro:
Many people have their own definition for a hero
Mine just happen to be the ones that brought me into this world
So this song is dedicated to you
Verse 1:
Dear Mom
Gave to me life, heard my cries
Curiously looked in my eyes
All those things you said to me
I'd be
A doctor, lawyer, scientist
Conversations from the heart
Funny how you tolerated me
There are times when you stood for me
But you're always there when I need
The little things you do
God has blessed me
You're my hero
My hero lives in you
Chorus:
You're my hero
You don't need an S across your chest
You're my hero
You know you can move mountains by yourself
But still you're my hero
The strongest person that I found
Can't leap a building in a single bound
But no, you're my hero
Verse 2:
Yo Dad
Lately after mom's been gone
Spendin' time with you alone
Basketball practice, you went with me
Football and those baseball games
You wanted me to play
But still you helped me be the singer that's in me
Ooh daddy
There were time you stood for me
But you're always there when I need
The little things you do
God has blessed me
You're my hero
You're my hero
My hero
My hero lives in you daddy
Chorus (twice)
There were times when I would sit down and talk to you
Yes there were times
Oh yeah
Sometimes I miss those days
