Shortly after 911 I was watching the news, of a little boy that lost his Dad, who was one of the firemen that had already save a bunch of people and then ran in there one more time. The fireman said he was always putting people ahead of himself. And through his sons tears he said his dad had always been his hero. And I wrote this song. Even now I can't read it though without tearing up. My Hero's gone to Heaven (911) The news (of 911) came as a frightful wave, Something so close to home. My heart started thumping, as I stared towards the phone. Then into the eyes of my dad, he knows I'm old enough to understand, that my dad is a hero and I may soon have to become a man. The ringing breaks the silence, I might not have another chance. So I leap across the room to my dad the Fireman. He picks up the phone with one hand upon my head Mom tried to look brave but her face was turning red Dad bends down says there are people I have to save out there I hug him tight, you're my Hero Dad, and I know I have to share My Hero's gone to heaven Watching me from above. Now it's up to me to strive to be the little man he new I was. I am striving to be worthy of the shoes he left for me. It's me and my Mom from this day on and my hero he'll always be Without fear, a hero's call to duty is always fight to win There still more people trapped up there, I am going back again. Then the massive twins shake, and then they fall to the ground My Dad will always be my hero, and now he's up there looking down My Hero's gone to heaven Watching me from above. Now it's up to me to strive to be the little man he new I was. I am striving to be worthy of the shoes he left for me. It's me and my Mom from this day on and my hero will always be Daddy's always looking down at me I know he's never ever far away My heart is where my hero lives each and every day I am stiving to be worthy and Daddy I love you so You're my hero Daddy, Daddy you're my Hero Your my Hero Daddy Watching me from above Now it's up to me to strive to be the little man you new I was.
