You know that I hate to be wrong and I fake being strong sometimes You know that I hate going off on the same old problems time after time I always looked for a hero Noble and fearless Someone to "show me how Jesus loves" Always wanted an idol A shadow to hide in Away from the fear of messing up It's a bird, it's a plane, could it be The hero we all need The hero we all need It's a bird, it's a plane, could it be What no one else could be What no one else could be The hero we all need The hero we all need I was surrounded by phantoms that laughed at my failure to stand Until I was found by the champion that valiantly raised me with His righteous right hand I always looked for a hero Noble and fearless But nobody loves me like Jesus does He is greater than idols A refuge to hide in He is my strength and my cornerstone It's a bird, it's a plane, could it be The hero we all need The hero we all need I called His name and He came and set me free What can mortals do to me What can mortals do to me The hero we all need I called His name and He came and set me free What other hero could I need
