Heroes

There’s a man I admire. He’s a rock star

And his lyrics have changed my life.

He accompanied me from a basement alone

To a home with my wonderful wife.

He told me his son has a hero

And it isn’t the guy that you think,

Not the man who’s inspiring millions

But the guy who fixed up the sink.

I’m content now to not be a rockstar,

To embrace all the skills I don’t see

Because somewhere a hero is watching

And perhaps is inspired by me.

I’ll endeavor to be the example

Of the way I think normal should go.

We can all be a hero to someone

Even if it’s someone we don’t know.
