Living in a time When 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 a Baby's Cryin'
Can you hear what, What He's sayin'?
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 Him, 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
It's 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
(I wanna be a Hero, I wanna be a Hero)
Want you to be a Hero, I want to Save Somebody
(I wanna be a Hero, I want to Save Somebody)
Make them Free, yeah
Mmm.
