People in life guide us through
We all need a hero to look up to
Someone who's heart is brave and true
For me that person is you
We walked together on Turkish sand
On Whitby peer and Donegal sand
On Scottish hills, hand in hand
A small girl looking up to you
My hero teacher, grandfather and friend
Someone on whom i'll always depend
I hope you know that I intend
To turn out just like you
You taught me how to sing along
To understand right from wrong
To play a tune and write a song
I learned it all from you
You have always meant the world to me
I know that's pretty clear to see
You're everything I want to be
Just by being you
To stand up when I think I should
And back up those I believe are good
To try to help whoever I could
I do because of you
Together we make a perfect pair
The love for music we both now share
Even down to our curly hair
I'm turning into you
Family faith and hope you say
I remind myself every day
That everything will be ok
Because I'll be strong like you
