Heaven Was Needing A Hero by Jo Dee Messina

What do you think?

My grandpa died a few years back. This song wasn’t played at his funeral, but shortly after the service, my family and I had this song on in the car. It still makes me cry when ever I hear it.

I have never been to a funeral where they played this song, but at my school, we had a purple heart ceremony for a Bill Youngblut, who killed himself six years after being in the war, and it took like 31 or 41 or 51 years just for him to recieve his purple heart, and his family recieved it after he commited suicide. I heard this song at the ceremony, and I lost it, because it reminds me of my Papa who died November 24, 2004.

This song is by Jo Messina, and it is a really good song for a military funeral, or someone who was really selfless and worked with other people a lot. Besides, its good for anyone really, because everyone a hero inside aren’t they?

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
