Sometimes I don't have the strength to fight the fall
Sometimes I'm tired and just drop the ball
When the earth beneath my feet's just shaky ground,
An' when I'm scared I'm gonna let the whole world down

You breathe life into me,
Put me back on my feet
Every time, you know exactly what I need
An' when I lose control,
You take the wheel an' no-one knows:
Quietly you rescue me behind the scenes,
An' let me be the hero

Some people think I'm strong an' calm an' in control,
Like I'm the one who stands his ground when the thunder rolls
If they knew my secret, if they only knew the truth,
I would've run a thousand times if it hadn't been for you

You breathe life into me,
Put me back on my feet
Every time, you know exactly what I need
An' when I lose control,
You take the wheel an' no-one knows:
Quietly you rescue me behind the scenes,
An' let me be the hero

When I'm down on my knees,
Prayin' to Heaven for some peace,
I'm always saved by the angel that God sent to me,
Right here next to me

An' you breathe life into me,
Put me back on my feet
Every time, you know exactly what I need
An' when I lose control,
You take the wheel an' no-one knows:
Quietly you rescue me behind the scenes,
An' let me be the hero
Yeah, you let me be the hero
Oh, yeah
