Lyrics
Of all the humble people in the world, you amaze me. Some think you’re just an ordinary guy. But I know what you do, and I’m looking up to you. You’re a hero in my eyes.
A Hero…nobody sees A hero… made just for me When you refuse to do wrong And you train me to be strong. I see truth…and integrity.
Of all the humble women in the world, you amaze me. Some see the shell, but I have known the pearl. ‘Cause I know how you live, how you give and give and give. You’re a hero in my world.
A hero…nobody sees A hero…made just for me. When you deny the greed, Sacrifice to meet my need I see gentleness…and generosity.
Bridge: I wish every kid in the world could find what I found in you. Someone to carve out time, someone to talk to. I don’t mean to put you on a pedestal, when you’d rather grab a stool. When I grow up, I wanna be just like you.
When dust returns to dust and you are taken away, When darkness falls, I’ll gaze up to the sky. I’ll see your shining star, and I’ll remember who you are Always a hero in my eyes.
A hero….nobody sees A hero…made just for me And someday when I’m grown And I’ve got children of my own I hope they’ll see the light of your life in me. (Repeat Bridge.)
