THE HERO IN ME
.
You pushed me hard
You lift me up
I smile today because of your love
You’re stuck in your head
Replaying the tape
Negative thoughts
That can’t be erased
The heart is broke
Cracked in half
Selfish and fearful
How long will it last
One day the hero inside of me
Will get me back
Where I need to be
No fear, no anger, no pity in me
Let go and let God know
I need him back
The hero that felt pain
Who fought his way back
