Momma combs his hair and daddy helps him brush his teeth
Day after day for thirty years the same routine
The special needs he lives with makes life seem so unfair
But he thanks God every day 'cause he knows mom and dad are there

And he's a hero and she's a hero
It doesn't matter that nobody knows their name
They keep on givin' to make life worth livin'
Might go unnoticed but they're heroes just the same

They tried for many years to have a baby of their own
But God knew a little girl who didn't have a home
Someone else's burden was their blessing in disguise
And now she's got a mom and daddy there to hold her when she cries

And he's a hero and she's a hero
It doesn't matter that nobody knows their name
They keep on givin' to make life worth livin'
Might go unnoticed but they're heroes just the same

Every single parent who must carry twice the load
And those who sacrifice to raise a child that's not their own
They dedicate their time to make a difference in someone else's life
And in my eyes

He's a hero and she's a hero
It doesn't matter that nobody knows their name
They keep on givin' to make life worth livin'
Might go unnoticed but they're heroes just the same
They might go unnoticed but they're heroes
