He was a little kid left on his own had to struggle in this world alone try's his best never looking back
People taught him how to know right from wrong raised him up to stand on his own
Said remember before you go
Life's about showing up through all the joy and sorrow find the strength to be yourself boy
Go on to be your own hero
Life's about showing up find your own path to follow the cuts and bruises can make you stronger
Go on to be your own hero

He met the girl he'd love for the rest of his life they made themselves a real nice life
Found a love he'd never known
He got the call on a Friday night Rushed to her side she's fighting for her life
Whispered this before she died
Oh yeah
Life's about showing up through all the joy and sorrow find the strength to be yourself boy
Go on to be your own hero
Life's about showing up find your own path to follow the cuts and bruises can make you stronger
Go on to be your own hero
Those years passed slowly by He took his last breath and closed his eyes
See's his young wife's face runs to her embrace walking hand in hand
And the Angels start to sing
Life's about showing up through all the joy and sorrow find the strength to be yourself boy
Go on to be your own hero
Life's about showing up find your own path to follow the cuts and bruises can make you stronger
Go on to be your own hero
