Of all the humble people in the world, you amaze me.
The cord that strengthens all our family ties. 
The loving things you do, Mom, I’m looking up to you.
You’re a hero in my eyes.
 
A Hero…nobody sees
A hero, still guiding me 
When you refuse to do wrong
And you teach me to be strong.       
I see truth…and integrity.
 
Of all the humble women in the world, you amaze me.
Some see the shell, but I have known the pearl.
‘Cause I know how you live, how you give and give and give.
You’re a hero in my world.
 
A hero…nobody sees
A hero, defending me          
‘Cause even when I failed
Your faith in me prevailed 
Your gentleness…brings the best out in me.             

 Bridge: I wish everyone in the world were blessed with a Mother like you         
Someone to carve out time, someone to talk to.
I don’t mean to put you on a pedestal, like I sometimes do.
I treasure each moment …that I spend with you.     

 When dust returns to dust and you are taken away,
When darkness falls, I’ll gaze up to the sky.
I’ll see your shining star, and I’ll remember who you are                   
Always a hero in my eyes.
 
A hero….nobody sees
A hero…………just for me
And now that I am grown
with children of my own 
I hope they’ll see the light of your life in me.   (Repeat Bridge.)
 
You’re my hero, You’re my hero, my hero.
