Hero - Lyfe Jennings

My daddy died a good death

He was a hero in the war

And on his deathbed

He turned to me and said, «Do you know

What I was fighting for?»

I said, «Yes, sir

You were fightin' for the people who got treated unfair»

He said, «No, son

I was fightin' for this moment right here»

When I can finally close my eyes

When I say my last goodbye

When I taught you everything I know

Tell you «I love you» once more

Always your hero

No equal

So my conscience is clear

It’s while I’m smiling through the tears

Forever your hero

You’ll always know

You were special, you were mine

I’ll be watchin' you from the sky, yeah

Charlie delivered papers

He was a downright bad poker player

He was funny, but no money

Kind of loud, but good company

His daughter was his princess

And one day she brought him home a gift

He said, «It's not my birthday

Baby, you made a mistake»

She just turned to him and said

«Whenever I close my eyes

And you tuck me in at night

So many things I forget to say

So I bought you this hero cape»

So you’ll always know you’re my hero

No, equal

So when they carry me or they bury me

You’ve been there for me for sure

Forever my hero

You’ll always know

You were special, you were mine

Forever in your debt to the ends of time
