There's some days that are bad right from the start 
There's some words that seem to leave a mark 
There are times you'd rather an arrow through heart 

Than to keep walking this tightrope in the dark 

I saw you stumble, I saw you fall 

I saw you rise up above it all 

You don't know dear what the day may bring 

All of us here we will stand and sing 
You're my hero, the way you go through it all 
You don't know dear what the day may bring 

All of us here we will stand and sing 

You're my hero, you're my hero 


Only we know you faced the great divide 
Only you know what it took to make it to the other side 

You stared down your monster when every muscle wanted to hide 
And I wish you hadn't had to, but now you're stronger inside 


I saw you stumble, I saw you fall 
I saw you rise up above it all 


You don't know dear what the day may bring 
All of us here we will stand and sing 
You're my hero, the way you go through it all 

You don't know dear what the day may bring 
All of us here we will stand and sing 


You're my hero, you're my hero 

You light up my life, you light up my life 

You light up my life 

You were just waiting for the day to arrive 

Just a bird in a cage waiting for the sunlight 
You were just waiting, but now is the time 
Cos you are alive, you are alive 


You don't know dear what the day may bring 
All of us here we will stand and sing 

You're my hero 

Cos you're my hero, cos you're my hero 

Cos you're my hero, you're my hero
