My Heroes

[Verse 1]
I saw you crying yesterday
Tried to look the other way
Like you didn’t want me to see
All the weight you couldn’t speak
Someone left a mark too deep
Words that cut and didn’t leave
But I felt it in my chest
Like your hurt was mine to hold

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know the world gets loud
Trying hard to pull you down
But there’s something in your fire
That keeps rising through the dark

[Chorus]
You’re gonna smile again
That smile that lights the day
Nothing’s gonna keep you down
No matter what they say
You’re stronger than you know
Braver than you feel (my hero)
You’re my hero in this world
And you always will be

[Verse 2]
People can be cold and cruel
Life don’t play by any rules
And you’re young, yeah, it’s true
But I see the strength in you (my hero)
Every step, you redefine
Who you are, you take your time
Falling down, then standing tall
You keep shining through it all

[Pre-Chorus]
And I watch you find your way
Even on your darkest days (you're my hero)
There’s a light you never lose
Even when it’s hard to choose

[Chorus]
You’re gonna smile again
That smile that lights the day
Nothing’s gonna keep you down
No matter what they say
You’re stronger than you know
Braver than you feel
You’re my hero in this world (my hero)
And you always will be

[Bridge]
My life found meaning in your stories
Every step, every broken glory
You rebuild, you rise, you grow
More than you could ever know
Be strong, be loud, don’t hide your flame
The world won’t ever be the same
You’re the reason I believe (my hero)
In everything we’re meant to be

Pre-Chorus]
And I watch you find your way
Even on your darkest days (you're my hero)
There’s a light you never lose
Even when it’s hard to choose

[Final Chorus (lifted)]
You’re gonna smile again
I can see it on your face
Nothing’s gonna keep you down
You’re gonna find your place
You’re stronger than you know
Braver than you feel (my hero)
You’re my heroes in this world
Yeah, you always will be

[Outro]
And I’ll always be grateful
Just to watch you become (heroes)
Every version of yourself
Every day you overcome
