Once upon a time, you were twenty-five
Walking up the aisle
You made the promise of your life
Blinked twice and you were twenty-nine
Singing lullabies
And I looked up at you for the first time

Words fall short but I am sure
There'll never be anyone like you, you're

You're strong like your father
Even when you are scared
When I was in trouble
You never left me there

And you love like your mother
Like there's nothing to lose
You're an unsung hero
So I'll sing this song for you

Woke up, I was twenty-one
And I fell in love
Remember how I told you that I'd
Searched the world and I found the girl
And oh, how she reminds me of you

You're strong like your father
Even when you are scared
When I was in trouble
You never left me there

And you love like your mother
Like there's nothing to lose
You're an unsung hero
So I'll sing this song for you

For all the times I fell down
You showed me how to stand
And when we crossed the ocean
You were my safe place to land

Been on a thousand stages
But when it's all said and done
I hope I make you proud of
Of the man that I've become

To be strong like my father
Even when I am scared
And when someone's in trouble
I'll never leave them there

And I'll love like my mother
Like there's nothing to lose
You're my unsung hero
And I sing this song for you
