My Heroes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And I’ll always be grateful

Just to watch you become (heroes)

Every version of yourself

Every day you overcome
