Lyrics Paul Overstreet - Heroes

He drives into the city, works extra hard all day
He finishes up early, so he can get away
'Cause there's a blue-eyed kid on second base
Wants dad to watch him play, daddy knows he's waitin'
So he hurries on his way

'Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Makin' special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives them medals, the world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes they're heroes just the same

She rocks her cryin' baby in the hours before dawn
She whispers words of hope to help her husband to hold on
She takes time with the children, makin' sure they know she cares
She's more than just a momma, she's the answer to their prayers

'Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Makin' special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives them medals, the world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes they're heroes just the same

Now, I don't pretend to know you but I bet it's safe to say
There's someone out there somewhere, lookin' up to you today
And they see everythin' you do except for your mistakes
You may not think you measure up but you've got all it takes

'Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Makin' special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives them medals, the world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes they're heroes just the same

No one gives them medals, the world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes they're heroes just the same
Yeah, in someone's eyes they're heroes just the same
Talkin' 'bout a hero, a special kind of hero, no ordinary hero
Talkin' 'bout a hero, a special kind of hero, yeah.
