From the recording Leaves on the Wind Vol. 1: Still Flying
Lyrics
Inspired by Firefly episode 5: Safe, wherein we see the immense sense of love and family between siblings Simon and River Tam. Written by The Fallen Stars.
BIG DAMN HERO
You were a special little girl
Big soul in a little world
Dancing shoes and dinosaurs
But they put you in a box
Buried so deep that you forgot
How to be just who you are
I was lost, you came to find me
Running through the world so blindly
Thought by now that you would know
You’re my big damn hero
Your star was shining so bright
But you knew something wasn’t right
So you left it all behind
Put your life up on a shelf
Saving everyone but yourself
Like a human sacrifice
I was lost, you came to find me
Running through the world so blindly
Thought by now that you would know
You’re my big damn hero
Don’t know where we’re supposed to be
But as long as you’re with me
I know we’re home
