"Heroes And Friends" lyrics

You can't take a trip
If you don't first say goodbye
You can't find a star
If you don't look up in the sky
You can't find a light
If you don't know where the dark ends
And you can't change the heroes and friends

You can't light a spark
If you don't first carry a flame
You can't take the weight
Of a single ounce of shame
You can't change the signal
Just the message that it sends
The message of the heroes and friends

You can touch the screen
It can take the place of love
You can disappear in ether
When pushes come to shove
And you can walk the night
Into the dawn
And back again
Looking for the heroes and friends

You can ride the back roads
Of the hometowns of the world
You can collide on sidewalks
In a neon light of blur
You can rush the stages
And believe the words again
Looking for the heroes and friends

You can dedicate your life
To breaking down the walls
To ringing the alarm
And screaming down the halls
You can stand in judgement
Of the meaning in the end
Then we are all just heroes and friends

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Yeah
(Oh)
(Oh)

Looking for the heroes and friends
(Oh)
Oh
Yeah
(Oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Why do we sacrifice our lives?
To what is left when it all ends
When all we want is heroes and friends
