Oh
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 moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride
around the world No she's just your everyday average girl
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 five
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 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 in the 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
daughter's stare 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 rocking chair
She runs a brush through her silver hair
The air and beyond the nursing hall
She drives by every afternoon
Beats her mom with a spoon
And that smile lets her know
Her mother's smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero
