"hero" is a tribute to police officers everywhere with a positive and uplifting message. too often the fine men and women who wear a badge to work are taken for granted. this is my way of saying "thank you" for your courage, dedication and service.
the song is being made available as a free download from mullymusic.com for your own personal use. it is also available for sale at several online retailers.
all proceeds from the sale of "hero" will be donated to the national law enforcement officers memorial fund.
(even my production and distribution costs are being donated and will not be recouped from any sales amounts.)
you can make a donation via their website at the fundraising link i setup or here at mullymusic.com
thanks for listening.
stay safe.

mully
mullymusic - hero
you're my hero
and i want to thank you
for everything you do
i'll never forget
you're my hero
facing the dangers
watch over the strangers
you serve and protect
you sacrifice all your time
to fighting crime
your life's on the line
you make a difference every day
for not much pay
that's why i say
you're my hero
you're my hero
you're my hero
and i want to thank you
for everything you do
i'll never forget
you're my hero
some treat you unfairly
and thank you's come rarely
don't ever regret
you're dedicated to the fight
of what's wrong and right
see things black and white
you make a difference every day
good folks go astray
you lock them away
you're my hero
you're my hero
you're my hero
and i want to thank you
for everything you do
i'll never forget
you're my hero
you stand out in the crowd
and you should be so proud
you deserve our respect
you chose a life of loyalty
bring security
to humanity
you make a difference every day
in so many ways
what more can i say
do-doot-nn-do-do
do-doot-nn-do-do
do-doot-nn-do
you're my hero
and i want to thank you
for everything you do
i'll never forget
you're my hero
facing the dangers
watch over the strangers
you serve and protect
- you're my hero
- (be proud of the choice you've made)
- some treat you unfairly
- (be proud of the lives you've saved)
- and thank you's come rarely
- (be proud of the things you do)
- don't ever regret
- (remember we all depend on you)
- you're my hero
- (when everything's going wrong)
- you stand out in the crowd
- (we count on you to be strong)
- and you should be so proud
- (stay safe every day and night)
- you deserve our respect
- (we know that you'll always do what's right)
you're my hero
and i want to thank you
for everything you do
i'll never forget
you're my hero
