My Hero

sometimes I'm the strong one
and you cry into my arms
and it's true that I would give my life
to keep you safe from harm
I always thought that being strong
meant that I had to stand apart

but now I'm strong enough to face it
and I've found the words to say it:
you are my hero of the heart
you are my hero of the heart
you are my hero…

you're always there to be the voice
for those who cannot speak
I know I used to say you cared too much
and I even called it weak
but in my heart of hearts my deepest prayer is to be more like you are
and now I'm strong enough to claim it
and I've found the words to say it:
you are my hero of the heart

so now I stand here at attention
and I salute you eye to eye
'cause you're a warrior for love
and I'm proud to serve here by your side
and if you ever doubt your mission
just remember this is true:
when it comes to matters of the heart
when it comes down to what really counts
when it comes to what this life's about
you are the one I look up to

you are my hero of the heart…
