Hero In Our House

(专辑： Face The River - 2022)

There was a hero in my house
I really miss her
That's her on the porch
Right there, holding my sister
Used to wake me up for school
Helped put on my clothes
Lunch in the fridge
Wrapped in foil to stay cold
And then she walked me out
The hero in my house

Now my heart
It's locked in a cage
Thrown into the river
I can't help this rage
Sometimes I wonder
What she's doing up there now
Do they see her like we do?
The hero in our house

Yeah we're all a little numb
That's not the intention
The things that we saw
Just hurt too much to mention
I hurt for the pain
Hurt and I'm grieving
Oddest thing is
There's just no getting even
Her body took her out
The hero in our house

Now this heart
It's locked in a cage
Thrown into theriver
I can't help this rage
Sometimes I wonder
What she's doing up there now
Do they see her like we do?
The hero in our house

Some things you can't forget
Some folks you don't either
Can try to outrun pain
You stop and feel the fever
I needto get drunk
Feeling so crazy
I need to get work done
But then I just get lazy
If she could see me now
The hero in our house
It really gets me down
It really bums me out

Now this heart
It's locked in a cage
Thrown into the river
I can't help this rage
But sometimes I wonder
What she's doing up there now
Do they see her like we do?
The hero in our house

There was a hero in our house
Sent down from heaven
Then she went back
'Fore the age of 67
But she told us all goodbye
Told us she was proud
And that's how she went out
The hero in our house
