Lucky Dube - Hero Lyrics

Do you see the smiles on their faces
After you have done what you do best?
Do you see satisfaction on their faces
After you have blessed them with your gift?

You don't think it's much but to them it means the world
They wake up in the morning and wish you were there
Don't have to lie to gain their trust
You have never won a Nobel prize, they've never seen you on the TV
Your little contribution makes their lives a little bit better every day

You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero

Big it up, big it up for the fireman
Big it up, big it up for the street cleaners
Big it up for the man and the woman
Who take care of abandoned children

Big it up, big it up for the grandmothers
Who are left to take care of the children
Big it up, big it up

You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
Hero, hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
