Ah...

She's never pulled anybody from a burnin' building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans 
Screaming 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 a 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
She's somebody's hero
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
An' 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 her weddin' 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
An' that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero (Hero)

Thirty years have flown right past
Her daughters' starin' (Daughter's starin')
At all the photographs
Of her mother (Of her mother)
An' 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
An' that smile lets her know
Her mother's smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero
