you let me be the hero

Singer:neal mccoy

sometimes i don't have the strength to fight the fall. sometimes i'm tired and just drop the ball. when the earth beneath my feet's just shaky ground

an' when i'm scared i'm gonna let the whole world down. you breathe life into me

put me back on my feet. every time

you know exactly what i need. an' when i lose control

you take the wheel an' no-one knows: quietly you rescue me behind the scenes

an' let me be the hero. some people think i'm strong an' calm an' in control

like i'm the one who stands his ground when the thunder rolls. if they knew my secret

if they only knew the truth

i would've run a thousand times if it hadn't been for you. you breathe life into me

put me back on my feet. every time

you know exactly what i need. an' when i lose control

you take the wheel an' no-one knows: quietly you rescue me behind the scenes

an' let me be the hero. when i'm down on my knees

prayin' to heaven for some peace

i'm always saved by the angel that god sent to me

right here next to me. an' you breathe life into me

put me back on my feet. every time

you know exactly what i need. an' when i lose control

you take the wheel an' no-one knows: quietly you rescue me behind the scenes

an' let me be the hero. yeah

you let me be the hero. oh

yeah.
