Jo Dee Messina - Heaven Was Needing A Hero Lyrics






I came by today to see you
I just had to let you know
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time
I'd have held you, and never let go
Oh, it's kept me awake nights, wondering
I lie in the dark, just asking why
I've always been told
You won't be called home
Until it's your time

I guess Heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is Heaven was needing a hero
Like you

I remember the last time I saw you
Oh, you held your head up proud
I laughed inside
When I saw how you were standing out in the crowd
You're such a part of who I am
Now that part will just be void
No matter how much I need you now
Heaven needed you more

'Cause Heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is Heaven was needing a hero
Like you

Is Heaven was needing a hero
and that's you

    I just lost my little brother December 21st (we’re about 20 mins from Christmas). This song is one I’m picking for his funeral and the lyrics have been something I’ve been clinging to. He was our little hero. Always making faces and cracking jokes. So ornery but so caring.

    On the 4th I lost my grandmother my only grandma my whole life she was my best friend growing up. She was a survivor she was 83 and the woman I saw lying dying in that hospital was a hollow shell of the woman I have known my whole life, I've known since 13 I could lose her, I was just never ready to she lived a very long life , she was a beautiful sould and one hell of a looker in her younger years with her firey strawberry hair, her striking blue eyes and kind heart and I'm sad shes gone but I'll always have the memories, she was the best of us and I'm gonna miss her forever and never stop loving her and I just feel like she was finally called home because earth was no place for an angel like her.

  29. S.... ....

    In September my therapist who I had worked with for over a decade suddenly passed away from a heart attack. Just discovered this song and it perfectly sums him up. He was a true hero in every sense of the word. He was an outgoing, life-loving man who could befriend anyone and knew how to raise you up from the darkest depths of despair. He was devoted to helping to lessen the suffering of others with no thought of any reward aside from seeing the fruits of his labor come to fruition. I can only account for one life he saved and that was my own, though I know there were many, many more. Last time I visited my general practitioner, he even said he had other patients who'd seen him and had even known him and they, as well as my GP, were just as devastated to have lost him.

    Scott, you saw the silver lining in the dark clouds, the gem in the rubble, the beauty underneath it all. You saw the beauty in me and held up a mirror when I couldn't see it. You helped me understand why my life is worth living. You were in my corner when I wasn't even in the ring and never failed to take the opportunity to pull me in and make me believe in myself.

    You were more than just my therapist. You were one of the best friends that I have ever known, one of my greatest allies in this world, and a hero to me and many others. A beloved and kind soul that I will forever be grateful towards. And though I still grieve and always will miss you, I'm so glad that you were a part of my life. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. 🌹

    Every year at my middle school an 8th grader dies from suicide

  31. W.... A....

    lost my grandpa Sep 17th, 2019 I'm so crushed it hurts so much

  32. R.... H....

    I know how it feels to loose alot of ur family members . Than u find out u have emphysema and it is not in.the early stages. Ur mind goes into a world winds of last chance to let.ppl u know that u love them and want to spend what ever time u have left to spend it making good memories with them and them with u. So my advise to give is listen to that person if they just don't come out and say they are dying or if they just out the blue they ask u if u would come and visit .. just go forgive anything that they did in the past .if they can find their selfs let them know how much u care and prove it by helping them
    Because u will not regret anything

  33. A.... B....

    I miss you so much ... Not knowing how I'll be here without u...
    We've always had eachother close... This is nothing we ever imagined..
    . I look up everyday and listen to hear you singin... I'm with you ...your forever in my heart ... RIP I love You!
