Story Behind The Song

Observing a kind woman every day on my way home from work who spent time chatting with a homeless man

Song Description

Everyone can be a hero by giving some one in need some of their time.

Lyrics

A Hero in us all

V1
In the busy subway
in the rush of after 5,
he was sitting in the usual place
waiting for her to arrive.

She never stayed too long
but she gave him what she could,
a little time and a warm smile
she understood.

Ch:
Whatever it takes,
whatever its worth,
time is such a precious gift
to share in someones world.

You do what you can
when somebody falls,
it's not hard to be a hero
there's a hero in us all.

V2
Yesterday I saw her
in the subway all alone,
just staring at the empty place
he'd once called home.

I felt a little nervous
as I stepped up to her side,
I offered her my shoulder,
she smiled and then she cried.

Ch:
Whatever it takes,
Whatever its worth
time is such a precious gift
to share in someones world.

You do what you can
when somebody falls,
it's not hard to be a hero
there's a hero in us all.

Bridge

Just a little time
That's all it takes
And you can make a difference
To someone else's day

Chorus

Whatever it takes
You know what it's worth
Time is such a precious gift
To share in someones world

So do what you can
When somebody falls
Its not hard to be a hero
There's a hero in us all
