Hero Lyrics
Lucky Dube
Lyrics
Hero
Do you see the smiles on their faces
after you have done what you do best
do you see satisfaction on their faces
after you have blessed themw ith your gift
you don't think iit's much
but to them it means the world
they wake up in the morning and wish you were there
don't have to lie to gain their trust
you have never won a Nobel prize
they have never seen you on the TV
your little contribution makes their lives a little bit better every day
chorus
you're a hero, you're a hero
big it up, big it up
for the fireman
big it up, big it up
for the street cleaners
big it up for the man ad the woman who take care of abandonded children
big it up, big it up
for the grandmothers
who are left to take care of the children
big it up, big it up Wo!
