She's never pulled anyone from a burning building
|
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name
|
She's never hit a shot to win the game
|
She's never left her footprints on the moon
|
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,
|
No, she's just your everyday average girl (but)
|
|
She's somebody's hero
|
A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee
|
A little kiss is all she needs
|
The keeper of the cheerios
|
The voice that brings Snow White to life
|
Bedtime stories every night
|
And that smile lets her know
|
She's somebody's hero
|
|
She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver
|
But she's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver
|
For twenty years, there at home, until the day her girl was grown
|
Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition
|
But now her baby's movin' on, and she'll soon be missin' her
|
But not today, those are tears of joy runnin' down her face
|
|
She's somebody's hero
|
A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress
|
She gave her wings to leave the nest
|
It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle she walks right by
|
Looks back into her mother's eyes
|
And that smile lets her know
|
She's somebody's hero
|
|
Thirty years have flown right past
|
Her daughters' starin' at all the photographs
|
Of her mother, and she wishes she could be like that
|
Oh, but she already is
|
|
She's somebody's hero
|
A hero to her mother in a rockin' chair
|
She runs a brush through her silver hair
|
The envy of the nursing home
|
She drops by every afternoon
|
Feeds her mama with a spoon
|
And that smile lets her know
|
Her mother's smile lets her know
|
She's somebody's hero
|
