My Hero

To my hero

You're calling out to me

The ray of light you shine

Is bright

I wish you could see all the good that you put in my lifeI hear you singing

Oh to hear you singing

Songs that made you young when you were winning

You filled a room with life

When you were drinking

And then I'd hear you sayI've seen things

Things that I hope you will never see ever againYou're like Paul Newman

Looking at the moon

Your eyes twinkle

Like midnight in the garden of Eden

You suffered just south of heaven

But all the things you've done for us

Are long gone now

All is fair in love n' war the question is how?Heart sinking

To think the man I knew was sent killing

Not all the tales you told were filled with sorrow

You found yourself a girl that gave you tomorrow

The rest is left to usNow I've seen things

I wouldn't have seen if you hadn't have fought for my days

To my hero

To my hero

You gave us what we know

But now you have to goTo my hero, my hero
