Heart Of A Hero

(album: Love Don't Run - 2011)

It's a fallen soldier with a purple heart
A teacher grading papers after dark
A preacher praying over a man's last day
A shoulder to a runaway
Giving money to a perfect stranger
Counselor working past the anger
Fire fighters walking into the danger
The day the towers fell

In the heart of a hero
Lies a courage you can't see oh no
How far it goes, until the jumping in
And that yearning to do what's right
Goes deeper than that fear inside
If you ask them, they'd do it all again
That's the heart of a hero

It's a daddy loving his little girl
That girl growing up to change the world
She's teaching her grandpa how to read
He had to quit school to plant the seeds
Now that farmer reads out loud at night
Words strongly read and full of line
Of a simple man who was left to die
With needles in his hand

In the heart of a hero
Lies a courage you can't see oh no
How far it goes, until the jumping in
And that yearning to do what's right
Goes deeper than that fear inside
If you ask them, they'd do it all again
That's the heart of a hero
Yeah the heart of a hero

When love picked you up, carried you through the storm
It's in that very moment, a hero is born

In the heart of a hero
Lies a courage you can't see oh no
How far it goes, until the jumping in
And that yearning to do what's right
Goes deeper than that fear inside
If you ask them, they'd do it all again
That's the heart of a hero
Yeah the heart of a hero
