Once in a while
Someone comes along
That one in a million heart
So pure and so strong
They can face up to the tears
And somehow still find a smile
If we only get
Every once in a while
Once in a while,
Thats why we call them heroes,
Thats why we know their names,
And once you've heard their stories
You're never quite the same,
Thats why we call them heroes,
And the best thing they ever do,
Is point to the best in us all,
And say "If I can you can too"
Once in a while,
Oh they can face up to the tears
And somehow still find a smile
We only get 'em,
Every Once in a while
Oh how I miss him,
Every once in a while
