Verso 1

Seven years old and crying
Middle of the night
And lying on a cold bathroom floor
Turn on the faucet
So that nobody would have to hear me
Too young to understand the feeling
Or the sound that my heart makes
The second my heart breaks
The people I loved the most
Didn’t protect me
From the lies that were spoken
But there in that moment I knew

Refrão

I had a hero in the room
Telling me the truth
That I’m good enough
O’ how You’d fight for me
Standing in between
The enemy and me
I might be bruised
But I’m alive because
I had a hero in the room

I’m only thirteen
Rocking her to sleep
In the bedroom I grew up in
Feeling unworthy
That I wouldn’t add up
But thank God that

Refrão

I had a hero in the room
Telling me the truth
That I’m good enough
O’ how You’d fight for me
Standing in between
The enemy and me
I might be bruised
But I’m alive because
I had a hero in the room

Repete

I had a hero in the room

Ponte

You were my fighter
Father light and provider
You put me on Your shoulder
And said it wasn’t over
Shelter defender
You were my protector
You made me who I am
Thank God that I had a

Refrão

Hero in the room
Telling me the truth
That I’m good enough
O’ how You’d fight for me
Standing in between
The enemy and me
I might be bruised
But I’m alive because
I had a hero in the room

Coro

My hero in the room

Repete

I had a hero in the room

Coro

My hero in the room
