Heaven Was Needing A Hero Lyrics - Jo Dee Messina

I came by today to see you 

Though I had to let you know 

If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time, 

I'd have held you and never let go 

Oh it's kept me awake night wonderin' 

I Lie in the dark, just asking "why?" 

I've always been told you won't be called home until it's your time 

I guess Heaven was needing a hero 

Somebody just like you 

Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it through 

When I try to make it make sense in my mind 

The only conclusion I come to 

Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you 

I remember the last time I saw you 

Oh you held your head up proud 

I laughed inside when I saw how you were, standing out in the crowd 

You're such a part of who I am 

Now that part will just be void 

No matter how much I need you now 

Heaven needed you more 

'Cause Heaven was needing a hero 

Somebody just like you 

Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it through 

When I try to make it make sense in my mind 

The only conclusion I come to 

Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you
