"My Hero" lyrics

"My Hero"

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be at your back
Yeah, that's what dear old Dad would say
Remember your old man
When you've finally had your moment
Should fame and fortune come your way

I wouldn't trade your wisdom, Dad
I thank you for your time
You said “son, keep on working 'til the stars one day align”
But maybe luck don't seem to shine
On stubborn fools like me and you
Make the most of what they give you
To yourself you must be true
To yourself you must be true

And we'll live
To fight another day
Things don't always go our way
And we'll live
To fight another day
Yeah, that's what my old man would say

May the spirits all be with you
May the Devil turn his back
When the day is at its darkest and anxiety attacks
Call on me to see you through it
Call on me to be your guide
I'll be there, son, when you need me
I'll be standing by your side
I'll be standing by your side

And we'll live
To fight another day
Things don't always go our way
And we'll live
To fight another day
Yea, that's what my old man would say

My hero, my heart
My hero, my heart
My hero, my heart
My Hero, my heart

To yourself you must be true
To yourself you must be true

And we'll live
To fight another day
Things don't always go our way
And we'll live
To fight another day
Yea, that's what my old man would say

My Hero
My Hero
