Your hero
Let me take the strides of life and block your sun for a while,
let me take the seriousness from your face, let me save you.
Take back the hand you extend, for this isn’t about me, it‘s about you.
It‘s taken, it’s turned, it‘s said in too many different ways,
I intend to say it without having said it at all.
I take deep breaths when you’re in sight, you steal my air.
I stand, ready to be at hand to be useful,
I hold you close, secure, making sure that the outside doesn’t come in.
I watch like an eagle, I can tell how you feel, before anything is said.
You bring back my sanity.
When I've fallen you catch me.
I don’t understand lifes troubles,
when life hits you hard, I'll be there.
I want to help you fight the war inside yourself.
I know that it‘s only you that can win,
But I want to provide the emotional support
I want to show you how much I would do for you,
I don’t expect a lot, in fact, just to see your smile.
It overwhelms me with joy, I take the steps,
and respect you for who you are.
I’ve never wanted anything in return for what I do,
it‘s just how I am.
Let me be the one who strikes down your fears.
The one who ensures your safety.
The one who can call you his.
The one that can be there for you.
Let me take away your breath, let me be the one you call: Your hero.
