Dropkick Murphys - My Hero lyrics

rate me

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be at your back

Yeah, that’s what dear old Dad would say

Remember your old man

When you've finally had your moment

Should fame and fortune come your way

I wouldn't trade your wisdom, Dad

I thank you for your time

You said “son, keep on working

‘till the stars one day align”

But maybe luck don’t seem to shine

On stubborn fools like me and you

Make the most of what they give you

To yourself you must be true

(to yourself you must be true)

And we’ll live

To fight another day

Things don’t always go our way

And we’ll live

To fight another day

Things don’t always go our way

Yeah, that’s what my old man would say

May the spirits all be with you

May the Devil turn his back

When the day is at its darkest

And anxiety attacks

Call on me to see you through it

Call on me to be your guide

I’ll be there, son, when you need me

I’ll be standing by your side

(I’ll be standing by your side)

And we’ll live

To fight another day

Things don’t always go our way

And we’ll live

To fight another day

Yeah, that’s what my old man would say

My hero, my heart

My hero, my heart

My hero, my heart

My hero, my heart

To yourself you must be true

(to yourself you must be true)

And we’ll live

To fight another day

Things don’t always go our way

And we’ll live

To fight another day

Yeah, that’s what my old man would say

My Hero, My Hero
