Lyric discussion by Penelopeg 

I couldn't agree with @rbach48 more. I doubt if this is about Cobain. I think it is about your everyday hero, someone that inspires you and you can look up to. I cry everytime I here this song. I touches something in me. My son was injured at work (at 25) and severed his spinal cord and is a paraplegic. He went through hell emotionally, drugs, dinking, major depression trying to wrap his head around what had happened to him. Finally he grabbed the brass ring....went back to University out of town...had to live in a dorm which was not easy, fighting ice, snow etc in a wheelchair for 4 years. Got his Architecural Engineering degree, has a home now, nice truck beautiful girlfriend for 8 years......Now THERE GOES MY HERO!!!
Chris I love you and am VERY proud of you.

I know that you posted this almost a year ago, but I hope you come back to read this.

The story of your son brought me near to tears. That doesn't happen often. I have a son and a daughter who I love very much. 'To the point that I can't grasp how fortunate and honored I am to have them in my life. I hear that in your 'voice'. You have that with your son. And you are amazed by him.

I know the feeling. We are truly blessed.

@Penelopeg Wow, what a story! Sorry for the horrible thing that happened to your son. What an amazing comeback! Thank you for sharing his inspiring story. If it's ok with you, I'd like to share this with my Interpersonal Communication class at Ivy Tech Community College in Indiana. I'm sure it'll touch them as it has me!
