 Song Info: |
With the first piano motif begins a 'dialogue' with my dad [on the outside] with his piano part answering. My recorded heartbeat from a sonogram is heard next in the intro as my arranger-producer dad wanted to convey the very special interest he had in my arrival even half-way through gestation by recording my heart with a handheld cassette recorder in a physicians office.
A 'conversation' develops between us in this way until the moment of birth itself as the production gives way to cellos, cymbal dynamics and a French horn section that enjoin the piano representing the trauma of emerging from the womb and its resolution which quickly follows.
At this point, a pop ensemble of drums, bass, guitars and two sections of violins displaying the bowing techniques of spiccato and pizzicato accompany the lyrical verses and choruses of the song structure until the bridge, where backwards lead guitar dynamically punctuate the lyrical lament.
The chorus returns which gives way to a free-style section of production evocative of the psychedelia of the late '60's with tamboura, dulcimer, McCartneyesque bass guitar part and an I Am The Walrus cello section which sets up the outro with a IV of IV chord transition to the song's conclusion. |

| Lyrics: |
As time is passing by
The one I call my hero
Has taught me how to fly
Wherever I go
I'd look over my shoulder
And I would see
He's On Top Of His Cloud
Watching over me
You're my hero, you're my hero
You're the world's hero in my eyes
Yeah you're a hero, there's nothing like you in my skies
That's the way I see it in my eyes
You showed me life
And the role you play
For generations to come what may
The three important questions
That you would share
Who are you, where will you go,
how will you get there for all to know
You're my hero, you're my hero
You're the world's hero in my eyes
How can I thank you for all that you've done in my life
That's the way it is in my eyes
You showed me life, to take it in
You showed me what to live for
To never give in
This song is more than just a song
You're my hero, you're my hero
In my eyes
Yeah you're a hero, there's nothing like you in my skies
This is what I see in my eyes
Beautiful person to me
In my eyes |
