Story Behind The Song

This was written about 2 months after 911. The song was inspired by all of the brave souls that were still working at Ground Zero during Christmas. This song is from a child's point of view looking at their parents as heroes.

Song Description

Dedicated to all of the soldiers, rescue workers, firefighters and police officers who don't always have a lot of time with their families because of their occupations.

Lyrics

"CHRISTMAS WITH MY HERO"
(F. Lawson)

(Verse 1)
He doesn't wear a red suit-He don't drive a sleigh,
But whenever I'm scared and lonely-he's there to save the day.
He doesn't wear a top hat-with two eyes made of coal,
But what he does everyday-touches a thousand souls.
(Chorus 1)
CHRISTMAS WITH MY HERO-is a special holiday,
'Cause heroes stand right next to you-and they never run away.
I feel so safe and lucky-to have my daddy near,
But now I've got to share his love-with everyone this year.
(Verse 2)
School had just got started-Fall was almost here,
Wasn't thinkin' 'bout Christmas-or what I wanted this year.
Sometimes we take for granted-what's right before our eyes,
I count my blessings everyday-'cause it helps me realize.
(Chorus 2)
CHRISTMAS WITH MY HERO-is a special holiday,
'Cause heroes stand right next to you-and they never run away.
I feel so safe and lucky-to have my mommy near,
But now I've got to share her love-with everyone this year.
(Bridge)
Let the joy of Christmas-last throughout the year,
We all could use a little hope.
For those that can't be with us-we'll hold you close and near,
And give you what we love the most.
(Chorus 3)
CHRISTMAS WITH MY HERO-is a special holiday,
'Cause heroes stand right next to you-and they never run away.
My prayers have all been answered-'Cause I have my family near,
And now we'd like to share our love-at Christmas time this year.
