Verse 1

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)

Chorus

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, oh oh, oh oh, She's somebody's hero

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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, oh oh, oh oh, She's somebody's hero

Bridge

 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

Chorus

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, oh oh, oh oh

 Her mother's smile lets her know, oh oh, oh oh, She's somebody's hero
