I'll be glad to sign my autograph if you want me to
God knows I love singing, that's what I was born to do
You see me up there center stage in the spotlight for a while
But in the things that really matter I'm just sitting on the isle'
(Chorus)
Cause I've seen a third grade angel with dark circles 'neath her eyes
Not a trace of hair left on her head saying Daddy please don't cry
A single mom working overtime a college kid reading to the blind
When you look for heroes know that I'm just a singer in a band
I'm thankful to be living in this childhood dream come true
But sometimes the attention just leaves me confused
Yeah I love my t-shirt on those kids my name there up in lights
But when the show is done and I'm on the bus riding through the night'
(Chorus)
I think of New York City and those firemen and cops
Who ran in and laid down their lives because it was their job
A Soldier in a field of mines with each step he lays it on the line
When you look for heroes know that I'm just a singer in a band
I'm humbled when you take the time to hear my life and verse and rhyme
When it comes to heroes know that I'm just a singer in a band
I'm a singer in a band
I'll be glad to sign my autograph if you want me to
God knows I love singing, that's what I was born to do
