I came by today to see you

Though I had to let you know

If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time,

I'd have held you and never let go

Oh it's kept me awake nights wonderin'

Lie in the dark, just asking "why?"

 I've always been told you won't be called home until it's your time

 I guess Heaven was needing a hero

 Somebody just like you

Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it through

 When I try to make it make sense in my mind

 The only conclusion I come to

 Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you

I remember the last time I saw you

 Oh you held your head up proud

I laughed inside when I saw how you were, standing out in the crowd

You're such a part of who I am

Now that part will just be void

 No matter how much I need you now

 Heaven needed you more

 'Cause Heaven was needing a hero

 Somebody just like you

Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it through

 When I try to make it make sense in my mind

 The only conclusion I come to

 Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you

 Yes, Heaven was needing a hero...that's you.
