Jo Dee Messina Heaven Was Needing A Hero
I came by today to see you
Oh I had to let you know
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time
I'd have held you and never let go
Oh it's kept me awake nights, wondering
I lie in the dark, just asking why
I've always been told
you won't be called home
till it's your time
I guess heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up for what you believe
and follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
is heaven was needing a hero like you
I remember the last time I saw you
You held your head up proud
I laughed inside when I saw
how you were standing out in the crowd
Your such a part of who I am
Now that part will just be void
No matter how much I need you now
Heaven needed you more
Cus heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up for what you believe
and follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
is heaven was needing a hero like you
Cus heaven was needing a hero
thats you
