The Hero...

I am the Hero,
A source of hope and light
I hear their cries up to the heavens
And come with strength to calm their plight.

I am the Hero
Always there to save the day.
Because when the dark clouds come
It's me that sees them blown away.

Day to day I help them,
And stand for all.
That is the Hero's job, you know,
To help other when they fall.

I am the Hero
Saving's what I do best.
The peace I want is sacrificed
To make sure all others see rest.

I am the Hero.
And though I'm adored still
Concern pushes their love away and
Loneliness descends, against my will.

Do they ever wonder?
Will they ever see in me?
The paint that haunts me everyday
That a hero is all I'll ever be?

But I must still stand.
Show no fear and right the wrongs.
Because a Hero with a weakness
Is not a Hero very long.

I am the Hero
But I'm still human too.
So what will happen on that day
When everything for me falls through?

I am the Hero
But how much longer can I stand?
They are hypocrites, and will not be
Below to catch me when I land.
I'll go down, I know
It's true, for that’s a Hero's destiny
And I'll be beaten to the ground
By too strong an enemy.

And on that day, as I lay
With my shattered hope and broken limbs,
I'll watch as they leave the Has-Been Hero,
And let the Loneliness step in.

And that’s when I will say…

"I am the Hero
And I stand for all
So tell me, please tell me,
Who stands for me when I fall?"

I am the Hero…
