Someday every sun that shines in your life
Could turn to a sad shade of gray
And in this eclipse I will come to your side
And stand there with you in the rain

But I’ll
Never be a bullet proof
Shield around you
I couldn’t be the armor you need

But I’ll
Never be the one to choose
Anybody over you
This promise is free

That I’ll be your hero now
I’ll be the guard of your honor somehow
And I’ll show you love laid down
I’ll be your hero now

But I couldn’t be more
Or a whole lot less
No I couldn’t be the dark while you sleep
And I can’t climb a mountain to call down the rains
On the fire that conspires at your peace

No I
Couldn’t be a Savior who
Leaves an empty grave for you
I couldn’t be the heart that you’ll seek

Oh and
Even though I’d die for you
I couldn’t be a God for You
I couldn’t be the air that you breathe

But I’ll be your hero now
I’ll be the guard of your honor somehow
And I’ll show you love laid down
I’ll be your hero now

All of my life I’ve been waiting for you
I kneel in the night and I pray there for you
All I wanna say is that I adore you
More than you will know
So much more than you will know

Someday if you stand in a garden of men
And the stone that you read bears my name
And memories abound of the years when the sound
Of goodbye was so far away

Just know that if I had a million lives
I would want to see your eyes
On the day you were born

Because you are all the legacy
That I’ve ever prayed to leave
On the day that I’m gone

I’ll be your hero now
I’ll be the guard of your honor somehow
And I’ll show you love laid down
I’ll be your hero now
