The First Hero I Knew

She wore no cape, no silver crown
Just tired hands, but she never backed down
In the quiet nights, through the broken days
She built her strength in a thousand ways

When the world was heavy, she still stood tall
She taught me rising after every fall

The first hero I knew was you
Fighting storms just to carry me through
With every scar, you showed me how
The strongest hearts don't break, they bow
You lit the fire that keeps me true
The first hero I knew was you

No headlines praised the battles she won
But she showed me how the small things are done
Her voice said "dream," her eyes said "fight"
She taught me love can turn dark into light

And every lesson, every tear she cried
Built the wings I now use to fly

The first hero I knew was you
Fighting storms just to carry me through
With every scar, you showed me how
The strongest hearts don't break, they bow
You lit the fire that keeps me true
The first hero I knew was you

Now the world will see what I always knew
The power of love that lives in you
I carry your courage, I carry your name
Your strength in my blood, your fire in my veins

The first hero I knew was you
The one who taught me what hope can do
Every mountain I climb, I feel your hand
You showed me how to rise, how to stand
Forever the truth in all I pursue
The first hero I knew was you

The first hero I knew was you
No cape, no crown, no spotlight too
Still, the greatest hero I knew... was you
