Hero Songtext
von Lyfe Jennings

My daddy died a good death
He was a hero in the war

And on his deathbed
He turned to me and said
"Do you know what I was fighting for?"
I said, "Yes sir, you were fighting
For the people who got treated unfair"

He said, "No son, I was fighting
For this moment right here
When I can finally close my eyes
When I say my last goodbye
When I taught you everything I know
Tell you I love you once more"


Oh, as your hero
No equal
You′re my conscience, it's clear
That′s why I'm smiling through the tears
Forever your hero
You'll always know
You were special, you were mine
And I′ll be watching you from the sky, yeah

Charlie delivered papers
He was a downright bad poker player
He was funny but no money
Kind of loud but good company

His daughter was his princess
One day she brought him home a gift
He said, "It′s not my birthday
Baby, you made a mistake"
She just turned to him and said
"Whenever I close my eyes
And you took me in that night
So many things I forget to say
So I bought you this here cape
So you'll always know you′re my"


Hero
No equal
So when they carry me
Where they bury me
You've been there for me for sure
Forever my hero
You′ll always know
You were special, you were mine
Forever in your debt 'til the end of time
