Today I need a hero
Someone to fight for me
‘Cuz I don’t have the strength it takes
To throw the punch I need.
Fists are thrown against my heart
My eyes are black and blue
I want to give up, leave the ring
And so I’m begging You.
Please fight for me.
Today I need a hero
A Prince to come for me
And whisk me off to distant lands
Where my heart can be free.
Please save me on your horse of white
And take me to the ball
Where we can dance an endless waltz
It’s Your name that I call
Please dance with me.
Today I need a hero
A Father to hold me tight
And tell me I will be okay
That You will make it right.
I need a lap to climb on
My head against Your chest
A Daddy’s hug and tender kiss
That bring my heart to rest
Please hold me.
Today I need a hero
A friend’s understanding ear
Whose shoulders can withstand the weight
Of ugly, heavy tears.
Who accepts me when I’m weak
And loves me when I’m wrong
Who sees the me behind my eyes
And tells me I belong
Please hear me.
Today I need a hero
A Lover who pursues
Who knows the deepest part of me
And discovers something new.
Hearts connected at the core
Souls unite as one
Eternity not long enough
For love that’s never done
Please pursue me.
You are for me my hero
My Father and my Friend
The One who fights, and who pursues
My heart until the end.
You are to me, Lord, everything
I know not why or how
But if ever, Lord, I needed You
My Hero, it is now….
