Somebody's Hero

She's never pulled anybody 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, ohh
 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 20 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 (hero)
 Thirty years have flown right past
 Her daughter's starin' (her daughter's 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...
