Hero In The Room

Hero

Hero

Seven years old and crying

Middle of the night and lying

On the cold bathroom floor

Turned on the faucet

So that nobody would have to hear me

Too young to understand the feeling

Or the sound that my heart makes

The second my heart breaks

The people I love the most didn't protect me

From the lies that were spoken

But there in that moment I knew

I had a hero in the room

Telling me the truth

That I'm good enough

Oh, how you'd fight for me

Standing in between the enemy and me

I might be bruised, but I'm alive

Because I had a hero in the room

Oh

From a teenager to a father

My niece is now my daughter

I'm only thirteen

Rocking her to sleep in

The bedroom I grew up in

Feeling unworthy

That I wouldn't add up

But thank God that I had a hero in the room

Telling me the truth

That I'm good enough

Oh, how you'd fight for me

Standing in between the enemy and me

I might be bruised, but I'm alive

Because I had a hero in the room (Hero)

Oh, I had a hero in the room (Hero)

Oh

You were my fighter, father, light and provider

You put me on your shoulder

And shouted wasn't over (Hero)

Shelter, defender, you were my protector

You made me who I am

Thank God that I had

A hero in the room

Telling me the truth

That I'm good enough

Oh, how you fight for me

Standing in between the enemy and me

I might be bruised, but I'm alive

Because you were my hero in the room (Hero)

Oh, my hero in the room (Hero)

I had a hero in the room (Hero)

Oh, my hero in the room (Hero)
