    Story Behind the Song
    About two and a half years ago my girlfriend's brother was diagnosed with leukemia. She was naturally extremely upset by this and took a trip out to see him. On the first night she was away I couldn't sleep at all. I stayed up all night long worrying about her and her brother, wondering what the future held for the two of them and how it would affect our future together. I wrote the song "Hero" that late night and into the early morning hours. This song is about my wanting to convey that no matter what happened I would be there to love and comfort her in her time of need.

    I'm pleased to say, thankfully, that her brother's cancer has been in full remission for two years now.

    Lyrics
    When you get to where you're going, just tell me you're all right
    I don't want to have to wonder what happened there tonight
    Now the morning is a comin' and I cannot sleep tonight
    And I wonder, are you thinking of me on your flight, well you might

    Life can be hard, but I can be your shoulder
    Standin' tall, baby, stronger than all
    Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be there
    Don't you know

    Chorus
    No matter what goes down I'll be right beside you
    Through the thick and thin I will be right beside you
    In your darkest hour I will be your light
    You don't need to hide and you won't have to run
    I'll be there for you

    Now I know that you've been tryin' to keep an armored heart
    You don't want to let this tragedy tear your world apart
    So you got to keep on livin', you pretend it's all a dream
    In the morning you will wake up and you'll feel so free

    Life can be hard, but I can be your hero
    Standin' tall, I'll be stronger than all
    Whatever the cost, whenever the cold, I will be there
    To keep you warm

    Chorus

    I will be your guide brighter than the sun
    I will be the one pulling for you, too
    I'll be there for you
