Lyrics
My Three-Year-Old Hero
O my three-year-old star,
what can light the nights like your eyes?
O my three-year-old moon,
what can wash the shadows like your tears?
Tonight, I heard your voice, my daughter,
saying “I just want my father.”
Now I’m here beside you forever
I wanna take you home,
Close your eyes, it’s time to go
I wanna take you home,
my three-year-old Hero
Your wounded feet tell a truth, which I can’t
with endless time and thousands of words
Your frail hands conquer hearts, which no one can
with even millions of soldiers and swords
Tonight, I heard your voice, my daughter
saying “I just want my father.”
Now I’m here beside you forever
I wanna take you home
Close your eyes, it’s time to go
I wanna take you home,
my three-year-old Hero
The little girl was hugging her father
and playing with his tousled, dusty hair.
Listening to his tender lullaby,
she soared with him into the sky.
I wanna take you home,
Close your eyes, it’s time to go.
I wanna take you home,
my three-year-old Hero.
