| 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 |
