Last night I dreamed of a cowboy king Riding high with a silver ring He had a white hat, boots, and a blazing star Saved the day and rode real far Then I flew with a caped crusader Fought off time and space invaders We saved the world, then shared a brew Right before the dream came through [Chorus] But when I woke up to to the morning sun Coffee brewing, day’s begun And there you were with sleepy eyes My hero wrapped in my morning light. No cape, no horse, no secret lair Just kindness floating in the air Turns out love’s the strongest stuff White hats and waking up [Verse 2] I once dreamed of a jungle scout Swingin’ vines, no room for doubt Treasure maps and danger zones Monkey sidekicks and old bones Then a pilot brave with eyes like fire Took me soaring, climbing higher But nothing matched the way you smile When I’m low and out and low on style. [Chorus] Yeah, I woke up to socks on the floor Dishes stacked and an open door But there you were with arms so wide My hero standing by my side No sword, no spell, no movie puff Just quiet strength and tender stuff Turns out love’s the boldest b stuff White hats and waking up [Bridge] Heroes don’t need theme songs loud Sometimes they whisper through the crowd They hold your hand, they share your load They’re just down the hall or up the road [Final Chorus] So dream your dreams of stars and steel Of mighty quests and wild ideals But when the dream fades with the dawn That’s when real heroes carry on No spotlight, just a coffee cup full of love White hats… and waking up Yeah, white hats… and waking up
