Somebody's Hero - Jamie O'Neal

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
