Shes never pulled anybody from a burning building
Shes never rocked Central Park to a half a million
Fans screaming out her name
Shes never hit a shot to win the game
Shes never left her footprints on the moon
Shes never made a solo hot air balloon ride around the world
No, shes just your everyday average girl, but
Shes somebodys 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
Shes somebodys hero, ohh
She didnt get a check every week like a nine-to-fiver
But shes been a waiter and a cook and a taxi driver
For 20 years there at home
Until the day her girl was grown
Giving all her love to her was her lifes ambition
But now her babys movin on and shell soon be missin her
But not today
Those are tears of joy runnin down her face
Shes somebodys 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 mothers eyes
And that smile lets her know
Shes somebodys hero hero
Thirty years have flown right past
Her daughters starin her daughters starin at all the photographs
Of her mother
And she wishes she could be like that
Oh, but she already is
Shes somebodys 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 mothers smile lets her know
Shes somebodys hero…
