I have my heroes , but no one knows their names They've never asked for recognition, They've never wanted fame My granddad fought the second World War When he was just eighteen He spent four months as a prisoner To give me the American dream In my eyes he's everything, all I hope to be. And I won't forget that day , he said he was proud of me So I take that one day and figure out what I did right I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life Yeah I'll take that one day and figure out what I did right I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life, what I did right I have my good friends, they have a place inside my heart But my best friend, well she holds the biggest part. Well, she finds the good in me And she knows just what it takes And she loves the man in me Through all of my mistakes. In my eyes she's everything, everything to me. And I won't forget that day she said you're all I need. You're all I need. So I take that one day and figure out what I did right I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life Yeah I'll take that one day and figure out what I did right I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life, what I did right And as I hold my newborn baby To give her some comfort while she cries In this moment I feel helpless Till she looks into my eyes, Her tears subside. I'll take this one day And figure out what I did right, I'll do it the same way For the rest of my life. Yeah I'll take this one day and figure out what I did right. I'll do it the same way For the rest of my life. Yeah I'll take this one day And figure out what I did right. I'll do it the same way For the rest of my life I'll take this one day And figure out what I did right I'll do it the same way For the rest of my life
