Hero

보고싶어요. [Verse 1] You never talked that much But I always stayed close Every room felt warmer Any time you showed up They told me stories About the man you used to be Spending your younger years across the sea Sending back everything you made Then came the Korean War You fought for your country there And somewhere in all that gunfire You lost part of your hearing But even after all of that You still took care of everyone first And when I stayed with you down in Busan I was always somewhere by your side If I said I was sick You were already getting dressed ⸻ [Chorus] You are my hero Even now, you still are Every time my life gets stuck Somewhere around 98 percent I still feel that little 2 percent Like that small push from behind I guess I always thought You would still be around You are my hero You still are ⸻ [Verse 2] I was young and selfish sometimes Busan felt too far away Holiday trips became routine Just another date I thought there would always be more time Never thought I would miss you like this Then years later I left Korea too I crossed the ocean on my own Ended up walking the same country, you once spent your younger days in And grandma smiled when she said “You know how proud he would have been” Funny how I ended up there too I laughed a little when she said it But now I think I understand Maybe every door that opened for me, did not open by itself Ever since that winter day in 2011 Things just have not felt the same ⸻ [Chorus] You are my hero Even now, you still are Every time my life gets stuck Somewhere around 98 percent I still feel that little 2 percent Like that small push from behind I guess I always thought You would still be around You are my hero You still are ⸻ [Bridge] I wish I visited more I wish I called more often I wish I understood back then What I understand now I do not think I ever loved you, the way you loved me But hero, I loved you too ⸻ [Final Chorus] You are my hero Even now, you still are Every time my life gets stuck Somewhere around 98 percent I still feel that little 2 percent Like that small push from behind Long after goodbye Long after loss You never talked that much But you became my hero I’ll bring your favorite galbi again soon I’ll come see you again soon And now I think I finally understand “The love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting” Psalm 103:17 Lyrics by Dean Park Generated by AI
