Hero

Hero Lyrics

Living in a time where the brave feel helpless
And the strong, strong are weak
They don't see, they don't see a way out of the darkness
So they fall, fall to their knees

See, I wanna be a hero
I wanna be a hero
I wanna save somebody
Make them free
Take the bars from off the prison cage

Mother stands alone as her baby's crying
Can you hear what he's saying?
He says "I can't breathe" so she holds him,
And sings hush, hush my darling
As he takes his last gasp of air

But I wanna be a hero
I wanna be a hero
Want you to be a hero
Keep him here with me, yeah

Superman won't save you
Spiderman won't care
It's human obligation
To lift you up and take you there
No costumes, no not necessary
Cloaks and capes do not apply
Your heart's the thing that gives you patience
All the strength to make you try

I wanna be a hero
Want you to be a hero
I wanna save somebody
Make them free
Take the bars from off the prison cage
I wanna be a hero
Want you to be a hero
I wanna save somebody
Make them free
