"Hero" lyrics

They never came down from the sky
They never walked on water, parted the waves, remained dry
They never saved, saved humanity
They're only flesh and bone, blood like you and me

But if you want it enough, you think you can last
Not achieving the impossible, just kicking some ass
It's yours for the taking, just sitting right there
Don't moan about your life, don't nobody care

Need a hero, be a hero
Risk it all, goin' nowhere
Hero, be a hero
Risk the fall, let me tell ya

Your history ain't gonna write itself
It's gonna forget about you, write about someone else
Your reputation don't mean nothin' at all
It's about where you're from, where you're goin'
It's all about standing tall, yeah

If you want it enough, you think you can last
Not achieving the impossible, just kicking some ass
It's yours for the taking, just sitting right there
Don't moan about your life, don't nobody care

Need a hero, be a hero
Risk it all, goin' nowhere
Hero, be a hero, yeah
Risk it all, goin' nowhere
Need a hero, be a hero
Risk the fall
Hero, be a hero, yeah

It's just once around, you know
Don't get a second go
Blink and you're gone
Sing when you wanna sing
Dance when you wanna dance
This is your song

Need a hero, be a hero
Risk it all, goin' nowhere
Hero, be a hero, yeah
Risk it all, goin' nowhere
Need a hero, be a hero
Risk the fall
Hero, be a hero, yeah

It's just once around, you know
Don't get a second go
Blink and you're gone
Sing when you wanna sing
Dance when you wanna dance
This is your song
