Lyrics:

He drives into the city
Works extra hard all day
He finishes up early
So he can get away
'Cause there's a blue-eyed kid on second base
Wants Dad to watch him play
And Daddy knows he's waiting
So he hurries on his way

'Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Makin' special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives them medals
The world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes, they're heroes just the same

She rocks her crying baby
In the hours before dawn
She whispers words of hope to help her
husband to hold on
She takes time with the children
Makin' sure they know she cares
She's more then just a Momma
She's the answer to their prayers

'Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Makin' special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives 'em medals
The world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes, they're heroes just the same

Now, I don't pretend to know you
But I bet it's safe to say
There's someone out there somewhere lookin' up to you today
And they see everything you do
Except for your mistakes
You may not think you measure up
But you got all it takes

You know heroes come in every shape and size
Makin' special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives 'em medals
The world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes, they're heroes just the same

No one gives 'em medals
The world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes
They're heroes just the same
Yeah, in someone's eyes
They're heroes just the same

Talkin' 'bout a hero (hero)
A special kind o' hero (hero)
No ordinary heroes
(Talkin' 'bout a hero)
Special kind o' hero
