He drives into the city

And works extra hard all day

He finishes up early

So he can get away

'Cause there's a blue-eyed kid on second base

Wants Dad to watch him play

Daddy knows he's waiting

So he hurries on his way

'Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size

Making special sacrifices for others in her lives

No one gives them medals the world don't know their names

But in someone's eyes they're heroes just the same

She rocks her crying baby

In the hours before dawn

She whispers words of hope to help her

Husband to hold on

She takes time for the children

Making sure they know she cares

She's more then just a Momma

She's the answer to their prayers

'Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size

Making special sacrifices for others in her lives

No one gives them medals the world don't know their names

But in someone's eyes they're heroes just the same

No I don't pretend to know you

But I bet it's save to say

Someone out there somewhere looking

Up to you today

And they see everything you do

Except for you mistakes

You may not think you measure up

But you got all it takes

You know heroes come in every shape and size

Making special sacrifices for others in her lives

No one gives them medals the world don't know their names

But in someone's eyes they're heroes just the same

No one gives them medals

The world don't know their names

But in someone's eyes

They're heroes just the same

Yea in someone's eyes

They're heroes just the same

Talking 'bout heroes

Special kind of heroes

No ordinary heroes

Talking 'bout heroes

Special kind of heroes
