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 the 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 light up my life, you light up my life, you light up my life) [x2]
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
Cause 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
Cause you're my hero, cause you're my hero
Cause you're my hero, you're my hero
There's some words that seem to leave a mark
There are times you'd rather an arrow through the 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 light up my life, you light up my life, you light up my life) [x2]
