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 
hero to her baby with a skinned up knee 
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 [bad word]  down her face 

She's somebody's hero 
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 
hero to her mother in a rockin' chair  [bad word] a [bad word] 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
