My Father Was My Hero Lyrics

He was my hero
He was my strength
He was my everything
Whatever the length
He was my shelter
He was my rock
He was my father
He was my dad

My father was my hero
The kind of person I wanted to be
He worked so hard to give us
A better life than the one he lived
My father was my hero
I carry his name with pride
Everything good that's in me
He put it inside

Some mornings I still hear his truck
Pulling in the drive
Then it hits me all over again
That feeling of him not alive

My father was my hero
The kind of person I wanted to be
He works so hard to give us
A better life than the one he lived
My father was my hero
I carry his name with pride
Everything good that's in me
He put it inside

His hands could fix most anything
His word was good as gold
I didn't know how much he gave me
Till I got old like he was old

My father was my hero
The kind of person I wanted to be
He works so hard to give us
A better life than the one he lived
My father was my hero
I carry his name with pride
Everything good that's in me
He put it inside
My father was my hero
Gone, but not away
