The Quiet Hero

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down on my knees in the quiet of night I prayed for a love that would feel just right Before I knew your face or knew your name God was already writing this same Then you walked in like an answered prayer A humble heart, a soul so rare [Chorus] You are my forever, my hero The quiet strength that I lean into Through every storm and every spring You're the steady song my heart will sing Oh, what a love, what a life we've made From '88 to today [Verse 2] We married young with no one by our side Just faith and love to be our guide Welcomed our boy in the spring of '90 Built our world 'round Cole-Ton's smile You taught him strong, you taught him true The best dad a boy ever knew [Chorus] You are my forever, my hero The quiet strength that I lean into Through every storm and every spring You're the steady song my heart will sing Oh, what a love, what a life we've made Thirty-eight years and still ablaze [Bridge] Jeep rides down those backroad miles Dust on the wind and your easy smile You showed me grace, you showed me how To be humble, Greg, like you are now [Verse 3] He left the nest, both proud and blue That boy became a man like you Now a new chapter calls our name Retirement roads, but the same sweet flame Thank you for loving me and our son For being the gentle, steady one [Chorus] You are my forever, my hero The quiet strength that I lean into Through every storm and every spring You're the steady song my heart will sing Oh, what a love, what a life we've made Greg, my heart, my every day [Outro] Forever and always, your princess I'll be My humble hero, you're everything to me
