Jamie O'neal - Somebody's Hero

She's never pulled anybody 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 road. 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 9 to 5. But she's been a waiter and a cook and a taxi driver for 20 years there at home. Until the day her girl was born. Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition. But now her baby's moving on and she'll soon be missing her. But not today. Those are tears of joy running down her face. She's somebody's hero. A hero to her daughter. She gave her wings to leave the nest. It hurts to let her baby down the aisle. She walks right by, looks back into her mother's eyes. And that's what lets her know. She's somebody's hero. 30 years have flown right past her. Staring at all the photographs of her mom. 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 rocking chair. She runs a brush through her silver hair. The end beyond the nursing home. She drives by every afternoon. Feeds her mama with a spoon. And that smile lets her know. Her smile lets her know. She's somebody's hero.
