Hero (I still wonder) Lyrics and Music by Robert Vance © 2007 I was looking at an old photograph, and I found myself lost in a stare I wonder what he was going through, while flying through hostile air Just doing what he had to do, one of the best at what he did In ‘44 he survived the war, and made it back home again In those days when life seemed so slow, he worked while he watched his family grow I wonder what they were going through, you know I’ll never know Doing what he loved to do, with is brother and three young smiling faces In ‘62 down went the plane they flew, and left behind the empty spaces Sometimes I still wonder why, and every time it makes me cry After all these years of not knowing him, I have dreams of sinking and not able to swim Life’s not fair don’t say it isn’t so, Life goes on and my Dad is my hero I was looking at a new photograph, and I found myself lost in a stare I wonder what they’ll be going through, when I’m not here to care Doing what I have to do, trying to do the best that I can In 2007 I’m still not in heaven, Lord pick me up again Sometimes I still wonder why, and every time it makes me cry After all these years of knowing them, my head above water and learning to swim Life’s not fair don’t say it isn’t so, life goes on oh don’t you know And as I read what a child said, she said my Dad is my hero
