My Hero
Every man needs a hero
Someone to look-up to
Every man needs a pillar
Someone to hold him taller
Every man needs a guide
Someone to take his side
Every man needs a shoulder
When no one seems to bother
All these and more you are
To me you’re much further
Times when I did bad
Beside me you were; I’m glad
Hard times those you went through
Felt bad, I did; without a clue
You taught me right from wrong
And showed it all along
Deep inside me lies
Everything you taught me tries
If you ever feel old
Remember what I told
Life has just begun
For you, who’s already won!
