Jamie O'Neal - Somebody's Hero Lyrics






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

  35. z.... ....

    What other genre of music promotes family values like previous generations of country music? Whether it's "Somebody's Hero" or "He didn't have to be" or a myriad of equally emotional songs I am proud of the country music I grew up with. Tried to stand in line at a store with this playing in my ears and hoped that the cashier thought I was sane.

  36. L.... D....

    Oh man, I love this song so much!

  37. R.... M....

    Miss you momma ❤

  38. D.... H....

    Only in farie tails

  39. P.... A....

    Even tho my mom is gone shes still my hero I know she was around last yr when I got hit by a car she made sure I wasn't seriously hurt

  40. W.... S....

    When your grown daughter sends you this song and says, "this is your song mom". "You are my hero". As I'm listening the tears are just rolling. I love you so much Brooklynn Michelle!!!

  45. M.... L....

    BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL

  46. D.... D....

    I’m using this song for my mother/daughter dance at my wedding. My mom has always been my mom/dad since the man who was supposed to walk me down the isle left us after years of abuse. she’s my everything to me. 😍 I know it’s been years since this was produced, but thank you so much for this song!

  47. D.... J....

    My mother left an abusive marriage after 42 years. In the last 8 years she has bought her own home, gotten her CNA certificate. All in her 60’s. She is my here, showing that you are never to old to start over.

  48. M.... C....

    My mom my is hero because she take care of me and my siblings and work a full time job with very little help

  49. S.... E....

    My biological 'mom' (I use that term lightly) has never been and will never be my hero. My heroes are the amazing women in my life who have loved me unconditionally, treated me like one of their own children, allowed me to stay in their homes, and let me call them mom. My heroes are the ones who chaperoned my sleepover parties and recreation center dances. The ones who were there supporting me during school plays, beach baptisms, and high school graduations. My heroes are the ones who gave me my first makeover, taught me that makeup is not what makes a woman beautiful, taught me self respect, taught me to love the Lord, and let me get my ears pierced. They are the ones who held my hand and told me I would be great when I experienced something new for the first time. The ones who took me to Disneyland, Sea World, and Spice Girl concerts. And above all else, the women who were at my side when my dad was dying of Alzheimer's, giving me the strength to be there for him. Those women are and will always be my heroes. Tell every woman in your life how much they mean to you, whether they are your mom, an aunt, or a total stranger. Everyone is a hero in someone's eyes.

  50. S.... S....

  56. M.... ....

    I’ve been looking for this song for soooo long! I had to do some serious searching for this song. I was a little girl when I saw this music video & it touched me so much. Now as an adult, seeing this still gives me the same feeling. I’m blessed to have my mom & granny still in my life...thank you God! 💜

    My mom song she been though a lot she was be my hero I love you

    s.... s....

    Bless them fulfilling your need aswell as theirs

  77. M.... P....

    I know it's just a song but if she was such a good daughter she wouldn't let her mother be in a nursing home. She could hire an in- home nurse. Or take care of her herself.
    Sad.

    M.... P....

    I had to put my mother in a nursing home. Let me tell you one thing, until you have walked that road don't judge. My mother had dementia and a crushed femer bone. She had to have 24/7 care. And I knew I didn't have the knowledge that her doctors had. And then you also have to realize not everone must have all the money that you must have. Try getting 24 hour quality care, see what that cost you. There was no pain, outside of her home going, that was any harder. I was there almost every day for 3 and 1/2 years to the point it affected my health. I would do it all again. Don't judge everybody by the same book.

  78. p.... s....

    Love 💖 I

  79. D.... C....

    hard to believe you're gone. I love you mom

  80. P.... C....

    Somebody's Hero is a fantastic song. The message of the song just hit you right in the gut. Jamie O'Neal is one of the most underrated female country artists of all time. I recommend her Brave album, it's solid.

  81. s.... t....

    I love my mom so much. She will always be my hero no matter how old I am. She is always such wonderful mom.

  82. K.... A....

  92. K.... E....

    We played this song at my mom's funeral. She was truly my Hero. As well as my siblings. She suffered for a long 2 years with stage 4 cancer and when she passed it tore a hole in my heart that will never be replaced. I miss my mom soooo much. I lost both of my parents before I turned 25 and lord does it hurt. I miss them both very much especially my mom. I had 21 years with her and then I wake up and poof she's gone. It's hard sk those who still have your cherish her with everything you have in you.
