Unsung Hero
Clark Terri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't complain or criticize
And while the world may see me as a fool
They're not looking through your eyes
No questions asked, you're there when I need you
With a love that inspires me to be everything you deserve
'Cause you're my unsung hero
Day after day continue to amaze me
Now I sing this song of love for you
While others long to steal the spotlight
You work your magic quietly
'Cause your not in it for the glory
The love you give comes naturally
I may not have much, what I have I give it to you
This song that I sing is my gift
And I swear that I mean every word
'Cause you're my unsung hero
And I know it's not easy to walk in your shoes
Day after day you continue to amaze me
Now I sing this song of love for you
