[Verse 1: CodeMan]
What makes a hero? Is it strength?
The ability to fly without wings
Or is it a man who makes a sacrifice
1000 times over for someone else to live life?
To me, that's the definition
See, I am someone who has witnessed
What it truly means to be
A real man with extraordinary qualities
My dad, now that's a father
Others would ask "why bother?"
See, at birth I was only given
A slim 10% chance of livin
But through the prayers and the blessings
24 years later, I have without question
That Rusty Stephenson
Is my superhero
[Hook: Jilly Mae]
All the things he sacrificed
In life to make mine right
All the times he stood by my side
I knew he was
More than my father
More than my mentor
He's my friend
My hero
[Verse 2: CodeMan]
So who is this Superman character?
What's his powers? Is he a carrier
Of strength, vision, and even healing?
I wonder if he could do the things you did, dad
Can he leave his family and his peers?
And shed a million, a billion tears
And watch his son battle to live
To watch him use his talents to uplift
I hope he considers that as the best gift
Knowing that his own flesh is out being the best
That he can be, through your teachings
Dad, thank you, I mean it!
I always look up to see
To the one who never gave up on me
You always remind me of who I am
And who I strive to be
You
