A red-eye from Seattle, about 2 am
Layover in Atlanta, she said
"I'm just passin' through
And I don't know how I got here"
And I said
"Well, I don't either, ma'am"
"See, I married into this family
And this was my son's decision"
She said
"I married a man like that, too
And when they come back
They never come back the same
They give so much and ask so little
But the weight of that
It stays with you"
"Heroes don't wear capes
They're our brothers, our sisters
Our mothers, our fathers
Our husbands, our daughters
Our wives and our sons
And the ones who stand behind them
They hold it down until the work is done
Heroes don't wear capes
They don't wear capes"
Well, it turns out
That her husband was a fireman
Her son-in-law's a first responder, too
And all the pain she was tryin' to bury
In the suitcase that she carried
I could see it in her eyes
And it was at that moment I realized
That I was gonna
Have to do what I didn't wanna do
"Heroes don't wear capes
They're our brothers
Our sisters, our mothers
Our fathers
Our husbands, our daughters
Our wives and our sons
And the ones who stand behind them
They hold it down until
The work is done
Heroes don't wear capes
They don't wear capes"
And then the PA system came alive
It was my turn to get in line
And she said, "Son
I know it's gonna be alright
Because my husband's
Been gone fifteen years now
But I still feel him here with me
He's never really left my side"
