Cherri One - I'll Be Your Hero Lyrics
I've been to the Himalayas, and the pyramids at Giz(a)Watched a Bosnian sunrise, that I wished you could have seenI've crossed the Grand Canyon, and the Sahara with easeFelt a Nairobian wind like your soft kiss on my cheekMy children have you learned about some of the places I've beenThough I was gone for so much of your life, I'm here now to help you to winI'll be your hero, the one that looks out for youI'll be your heroI'll be your hero, the one that will fight for youI'll be your heroI saw Eagles in Saudi, at the heart of a Desert StormI was just 22 and I didn't have a clue that one day you would all be bornI went to the Soviet Union when the Iron Curtain was raisedAnd I got your mom a ring in Germany, she wore for all of our daysMy children do you understand some of the things that I've doneAnd for the rest of my life, I'll be a dad that's number oneI'll be your hero, the one that looks out for youI'll be your heroI'll be your hero, to stand in the gap with youI'll be your heroSo if the storm comes and you just need a way throughI'll be your HeroOn the night of 9-11, at the news of the attackYou flew off to the scene of the crime and I didn't know when you'd be backWhen you went to Afghanistan, I thought maybe we were throughBut I wanted you to have someone to come back home toAnd I made it back home to youOn a river of darkness, that winds through the skyIn a gray metal aircraft, we fly by the nightWhile you are in school, making the gradeI think of your faces, may God keep you safeI'll be your hero, the one that looks out for youI'll be your hero, the one that holds the home for youI'll be your hero, the one that will fight for youI'll be your hero, that takes care of the kids for youI'll be your hero, to stand in the gap with youI'll be your hero, we know just what to doIf the storm comes and you just need a way throughI'll be your hero (x2)And if you just need someone that you can turn tooI'll be your hero
