Heroes - Bill & Gloria Gaither

Momma combs his hair and Daddy helps him brush his teeth

Day after day for thirty years the same routine

The special needs he lives with make life seem so unfair

But he thanks God every day cause he knows Mom and Dad are there

(chorus) He’s a hero and she’s a hero

It doesn’t matter that nobody knows their name

They keep on giving to make life worth living

Might go unnoticed but they’re heroes just the same

They tried for many years to have a baby of their own

But God knew a little girl who didn’t have a home

Someone else’s burden was their blessing in disguise

And now she’s got a Mom and Daddy there to hold her when she cries

Every single parent who must carry twice the load

And those who sacrifice to raise a child that’s not their own

They dedicate their time to make a difference in someone else’s life

And in my eyes

They might go unnoticed but they’re heroes just the same.
