about

7. What Is A Hero? ©2011: We often think that only super-heroes can be heroes, but being a hero takes lots of different forms. Some heroes are big and flashy and make it into the TV news, but sometimes being a hero is as simple as smiling kindly at someone on the street who might be looking sad.

lyrics

7. What Is A Hero? words and music by Joanie Calem © June 2011
Chorus:
What is a hero? Tell me if you can. Could be a woman, could be a man,
Could be a boy, and could be a girl, could be anyone in the world!

Sometimes a hero is strong, sometimes a hero is brave that’s true,
But even if we’re feeling scared, we can be a hero too, ‘cause heroes are like me and you!

Chorus

Sometimes a hero is kind, sometimes a hero is smart that’s true
But even if we’re feeling dumb, we can be a hero too, ‘cause heroes are like me and you!
Chorus

Sometimes a hero is famous, sometimes a hero is tall that’s true
But even if we’re small, we can be a hero too, ‘cause heroes are like me and you!

Last chorus
What is a hero? Tell me if you can. Could be a woman, could be a man,
Could be a boy, and could be a girl, could be anyone in the world!
Yes anyone in the world, oh anyone in the world.
