She wakes before the sunrise
Wipes the sleep from her eyes
Packs their lunches, ties their shoes
Another day, the same old news
She wears no cape, no crown, no fame
But every day, she plays the game
A quiet strength, a steady hand
She builds a world they understand
She's the hero you don't see
Fighting battles silently
Through the chaos, through the pain
She holds the sky when it starts to rain
No medals hang upon her chest
But in their hearts, she's the best
An ordinary woman, extraordinary me
The hero you don't see
At night she whispers prayers of hope
Counting stars to help her cope
Dreams she had, she put aside
For little hearts, her arms provide
She works her job, she pays the bills
Climbs the mountains, faces hills
No spotlight shines, no cheering crowd
But in her strength, she stands so proud
She's the hero you don't see
Fighting battles silently
Through the chaos, through the pain
She holds the sky when it starts to rain
No medals hang upon her chest
But in their hearts, she's the best
An ordinary woman, extraordinary me
The hero you don't see
And when the weight feels too much to bear
She closes her eyes and finds them there
Little voices saying"Mom, you're strong"
They were the reason all along
She's the hero you don't see
Fighting battles silently
Through the chaos, through the pain
She holds the sky when it starts to rain
No medals hang upon her chest
But in their hearts, she's the best
An ordinary woman, extraordinary me
The hero you don't see
The hero you don't see
So here's to every quiet soul
Who carries love, who makes us whole
An unsung story, let it be
The hero you don't see
