Someday every sun that shines in your life
Could turn to a sad shade of gray
And in this eclipse I will come to your side
And stand there with you in the rain
But I'll
Never be a bullet proof
Shield around you
I couldn't be the armor you need
But I'll
Never be the one to choose
Anybody over you
This promise is free
That I'll be your hero now
I'll be the guard of your honor somehow
And I'll show you love laid down
I'll be your hero now
But I couldn't be more
Or a whole lot less
No I couldn't be the dark while you sleep
And I can't climb a mountain to call down the rains
On the fire that conspires at your peace
No I
Couldn't be a Savior who
Leaves an empty grave for you
I couldn't be the heart that you'll seek
Oh and
Even though I'd die for you
I couldn't be a God for You
I couldn't be the air that you breathe
But I'll be your hero now
I'll be the guard of your honor somehow
And I'll show you love laid down
I'll be your hero now
All of my life I've been waiting for you
I kneel in the night and I pray there for you
All I wanna say is that I adore you
More than you will know
So much more than you will know
Someday if you stand in a garden of men
And the stone that you read bears my name
And memories abound of the years when the sound
Of goodbye was so far away
Just know that if I had a million lives
I would want to see your eyes
On the day you were born
Because you are all the legacy
That I've ever prayed to leave
On the day that I'm gone
I'll be your hero now
I'll be the guard of your honor somehow
And I'll show you love laid down
I'll be your hero now
