Cover art for Hero lyrics by Enrique Iglesias

I almost lost my brother on September 11 2001, he is an emt for FDNY. All the men in my family are volunteer firefighters. Although I know this song was written before then, every time I hear it I am reminded that all the friends my family has mourned in the past 7 months loved us enough to run and never look back. They will always be our heros
