He drives into the city
And works extra hard all day
He finishes up early
So he can get away
'Cause there's a blue-eyed kid on second base
Wants Dad to watch him play
And Daddy knows he's waiting
So he hurries on his way

CHORUS: Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in there lives
No one gives them medals
The world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes, they're heroes just the same

She rocks her crying baby
In the hours before dawn
She whispers words of hope to help her
husband to hold on

She takes time for the children
Making sure they know she cares
She's more then just a Momma
She's the answer to their prayers

Repeat Chorus

No I don't pretend to know you
But I bet it's safe to say
There's someone out there somewhere looking
up to you today
And they see everything you do
Except for your mistakes
You may not think you measure up
but you got all it takes

Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in there lives
No one gives them medals
The world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes, they're heroes just the same

No one gives them medals
The world don't know their names
But in someone's eyes
They're heroes just the same
Yea , in someone's eyes
They're heroes just the same
Talking bout heroes....
Special kind of heroes.....
No ordinary heroes.....
