I came by today to see you   Though I had to let you know   If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time,   I'd have held you and never let go   Oh it's kept me awake night wonderin'   Lie in the dark, just asking "why?"   I've always been told you won't be called home until it's your time      I guess Heaven was needing a hero   Somebody just like you   Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it though   When I try to make it make sense in my mind   The only conclusion I come to   Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you      I remember the last time I saw you   Oh you held your head up proud   I laughed inside when I saw how you were, standing out in the crowd   You're such a part of who I am   Now that part will just be void   No matter how much I need you now   Heaven needed you more      'Cause Heaven was needing a hero   Somebody just like you   Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it though   When I try to make it make sense in my mind   The only conclusion I come to   Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you      Yes, Heaven was needing a hero...that's you.
