Once upon a time, you were twenty-five
Walking up the aisle, you made the promise of your life
Blinked twice and you were twenty-nine
Singing lullabies, and I looked up at you for the first time

Words fall short but I am sure
There'll never be anyone like you

You're, you're strong like your father even when you are scared
When I was in trouble, you never left me there
And you love like your mother, like there's nothing to lose
You're an unsung hero, so I'll sing this song for you

Woke up, I was twenty-one, and I fell in love
Remember how I told you that I'd
Searched the world and I found the girl
And oh, how she reminds me of you

You're strong like your father even when you are scared
When I was in trouble, you never left me there
And you love like your mother, like there's nothing to lose
You're an unsung hero, so I'll sing this song for you

For all the times I fell down, you showed me how to stand
And when we crossed the ocean, you were my safe place to land
Been on a thousand stages, but when it's all said and done
I hope I make you proud of, of the man that I've become

To be strong like my father even when I am scared
And when someone's in trouble, I'll never leave them there
And I'll love like my mother, like there's nothing to lose
You're my unsung hero, and I sing this song for you
