She's never pulled anyone from a burning building   She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans   Screaming out her name   She's never hit a shot to win the game      She's never left her footprints on the moon   She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world   No, she's just your everyday average girl   (But)      She's somebody's hero   A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee   A little kiss is all she needs   The keeper of the cheerios      The voice that brings Snow White to life   Bedtime stories every night   And that smile lets her know   She's somebody's hero      She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver   But she's been a waiter and a cook and a taxi driver   For twenty years, there at home until the day her girl was grown   Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition      But now her baby's movin' on and she'll soon be missin' her   But not today, those are tears of joy runnin' down her face      She's somebody's hero   A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress   She gave her wings to leave the nest   It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle she walks right by      Looks back into her mother's eyes   And that smile lets her know   She's somebody's hero      Thirty years have flown right past   Her daughters' starin' at all the photographs   Of her mother and she wishes she could be like that   Oh, but she already is   She's somebody's hero      A hero to her mother in a rockin' chair   She runs a brush through her silver hair   The envy of the nursing home   She drops by every afternoon      Feeds her mama with a spoon   And that smile lets her know   Her mother's smile lets her know   She's somebody's hero
