Lyrics

[ Instrumental intro ]

He brought me into the world
with a smile on his face
the first hero I saw
I will never erase
I learned to share,
as the youngest child
with the joy it brought,
I always smiled

As I grew up
I learned a lot
from those around
the ones that taught
they command respect
with a gentle hand
from that idea,
I want to expand

[ Pre-Chorus ]
Because for me....

[ Chorus ]
Heroes aren't found in a comic book
all I have to do is take a look
they look like you or me
take a look, then you'll see

When my country asked,
I answered the call
to protect and serve,
I did it all
don't judge others
by petty things
there's good in us all,
with the love we bring

[ Pre-Chorus ]
Because for me

[ Chorus ]
Heroes aren't found in a comic book
all I have to do is take a look
they look like you or me
take a look, then you'll see

[ Instrumental ]

When times are tough,
a friend lends a dime
a hero looks different,
every time
Lost in the world,
nowhere to go
the man upstairs
will always know

[ Pre-Chorus ]
Because for me

[ Chorus ]
Heroes aren't found in a comic book
all I have to do is take a look
they look like you or me
take a look, then you'll see

When his days were slim
I was there for him
I said "you were a hero to me",
he said "I was a hero to him"
I looked up to my dad
through all of my life
Through all the troubles,
and all the strife

[ Pre-Chorus ]
Because for me

[ Chorus ]
Heroes aren't found in a comic book
all I have to do is take a look
they look like you or me
take a look, then you'll see

[ Instrumental ]
