Lyrics
As time is passing by
The one I call my hero
Has taught me how to fly
Wherever I go
I'd look over my shoulder
And I would see
He's On Top Of His Cloud
Watching over me
You're my hero, you're my hero
You're the world's hero in my eyes
Yeah you're a hero, there's nothing like you in my skies
That's the way I see it in my eyes
You showed me life
And the role you play
For generations to come what may
The three important questions
That you would share
Who are you, where will you go,
how will you get there for all to know
You're my hero, you're my hero
You're the world's hero in my eyes
How can I thank you for all that you've done in my life
That's the way it is in my eyes
You showed me life, to take it in
You showed me what to live for
To never give in
This song is more than just a song
You're my hero, you're my hero
In my eyes
Yeah you're a hero, there's nothing like you in my skies
This is what I see in my eyes
Beautiful person to me
In my eyes
