Hero

(الألبوم: 777 - 2019)

My daddy died a good death
He was a hero in the war
And on his deathbed
He turned to me and said, "Do you know
What I was fighting for?"
I said, "Yes, sir
You were fighting for the people who got treated unfair"
He said, "No, son
I was fighting for this moment right here"

When I can finally close my eyes
When I say my last goodbye
When I taught you everything I know
Tell you "I love you" once more

Always your hero
No equal
So my conscience is clear
It's while I'm smiling through the tears
Forever your hero
You'll always know
You were special, you were mine
I'll be watching you from the sky, yeah

Charlie delivered papers
He was a downright bad poker player
He was funny, but no money
Kind of loud, but good company
His daughter was his princess
And one day she brought him home a gift
He said, "It's not my birthday
Baby, you made a mistake"
She just turned to him and said

"Whenever I close my eyes
And you tuck me in at night
So many things I forget to say
So I bought you this hero cape"

So you'll always know you're my hero
No, equal
So when they carry me or they bury me
You've been there for me for sure
Forever my hero
You'll always know
You were special, you were mine
Forever in your debt to the ends of time
