Uh huh uh uh uh uh
She's never pulled anybody
from a burnin' building
She's never rocked
Central Park
to a half a million fans
Screamin' out her name
She's never hit a shot
to win the game
She's never left
her footprints
on the moon
She's never made a solo
hot air balloon ride
around the world
No she's just your everyday
average girl
But
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with
the skinned-up knee
A little kiss is all she needs
The keeper of the Cheerios
The voice that brings
Snow White to life
Bedtime stories every night
And that smile
lets her know wo oh wo oh
She's somebody's hero
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
She didn't get a check
every week
like a nine-to-fiver
But she's been a waiter
and a cook
and a taxi driver
for twenty years
There at home
until the day
her girl was grown
Givin' all her love to her
was her life's ambition
But now her baby's movin' on
And she'll soon be missin' her
But not today
Those are tears of joy
runnin' down her face
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her daughter
in the wedding dress
She gave her wings
to leave the nest
It hurts
to let her baby go
Down the aisle
she walks right by
Looks back into
her mother's eyes
And that smile
lets her know wo oh wo oh
She's somebody's hero
Thirty-years
have flown right past
Her daughter's starin'
at all the photographs
of her mother
And she wishes
she could be like that
Oh but she already is
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her mother
in the rockin' chair
She runs a brush
through her silver hair
The envy of the nursing home
She drops by every afternoon
Feeds her momma
with a spoon
And that smile
lets her know wo oh wo oh
Her mother's smile
lets her know wo oh wo oh
She's somebody's hero
