about

Bari was all three and I started writing this shortly after he died. It took 2 months and is the hardest song I have ever written. It is also the longest, as he was amazing and I didn't want to leave anything out.

lyrics

Not all villains wear black hats, and not all heros a cape or mask.
There are quiet heros with us every day at every turn,
Inspiring us to strive for higher than we thought we could,
They touch our lives and leave us better than then we were.
Bullied as a child, he could have grown up quite embittered,
But the heros in his books and comics showed a better way.
So he vowed he'd be a hero in his heart and soul and mind,
Their code of honor made his own and followed his whole life.

He's with me every step - his love surrounds me.
I hear his voice whenever I'm in doubt.
His spirit will still guide me - his love still leads the way,
And whispers to my heart, "you can make it one more day."
My husband, my hero, my friend;
You are in my heart forever, I know your love will never end.

When Kim was faced with cancer, his love became his sword and shield.
Steadfastly stood beside her ‘til she shed her mortal bonds.
Then he saw a friend was swallowed by the darkness of her pain,
So he showed me there was reason to believe in hope again.
Into the sun he pulled me, showed it wasn't wrong to be myself.
Courage helped me find, to face the tigers in my life.
His superpower music, my demons had no chance to win,
When it unlocked my heart, and his love came flooding in.

He's with me every step - his love surrounds me.
I hear his voice whenever I'm in doubt.
His spirit will still guide me - his love still leads the way,
And whispers to my heart, "you can make it one more day."
My husband, my hero, my friend;
You are in my heart forever, I know your love will never end.

My hero vanquished villains which no swordsman could attack.
His nemeses were loneliness, uncertainty, and grief.
Facing each with courage, with thoughtfulness and grace,
Along the way encouraged me, my true self to embrace.
As I struggle with the heartbreak of losing him too soon,
I remember all the lessons that he taught.
By example, showed me healing, gentle strength came from within,
And how to live through sorrow, to find your joy again.

Bridge:
And he's there every time I sing our songs,
Standing right beside me and helping me hold on.
And I know you will be watching over me and Aidan.
Learning about his father, you'll be a hero to our son.

He's with me every step - his love surrounds me.
I hear his voice whenever I'm in doubt.
His spirit will still guide me - his love still leads the way,
And he whispers to my heart, "you can make it one more day."
My husband, my hero, my friend;
You are in my heart forever, I know your love will never end.
