Angie:

I'm not a hero

So take me off that shelf

I'm just a man

Ordinary, like everyone else

Right now you are just too hurt to see

But Angie, you're the hero to me

I know that’s my sister behind those eyes

The same one, growing up, I'd tease all the time

Fight the fight and conquer your mind

We're all here, waiting, on the other side

Your brain will heal itself

It's patiently waiting we can all do without

So take a breath and oxygenate your mind

It'll all get better, given a little time

Here are two things I know would motivate me

Garrett and Breanna

They need their mommy

So with every step you take

Surmount the pain

And picture their face

I'm not a hero

So take me off that shelf

I'm just a man

Ordinary, like everyone else

Right now you are just too hurt to see

That Angie, you're the hero to me
