If Heaven Was Needing A Hero

I came by today to see you
oh I had to let you know
if I knew the last time that I held you was the last time,
I'd have held you, and never let go.
Oh its kept me waiting nights, wondering;
Lying in the dark, just asking why?
I've always been told, you won't be called home, until its your time.
I guess heaven was needing a hero
somebody just like you,
brave enough to stand up for what you believe
and follow it through.
when I try to make it make sense in my mind,
the only conclusion I come to;
is that heaven was needing a hero
like you.
I remember the last time I saw you,
oh you held your head up proud.
I laughed inside when I saw how you were
standing out in the crowd.
You're such a part of who I am,
now that part will just be void.
No matter how much I need you now
heaven needed you more
cos heaven was needing a hero
somebody just like you,
brave enough to stand up for what you believe
and follow it through.
when I try to make it make sense in my mind,
the only conclusion I come to;
is that heaven was needing a hero
like you
yes heaven was needing a hero
and thats you...
