Heroes

| Chorus: | |
|
Heroes are sung of in legends, Heroes are dreamed of in dreams. Let each man who would be called 'hero' Think well upon all it means. |

| Verses: | |
|
A hero's reputation is heavy, For him expectations run high. His shoes, they grow too big for filling, And his height seems to stretch toward the sky. A hero's supposed to be fearless, Though his life with peril is fraught. Can any man fulfil this legend - Now was this the life that you sought? A hero beheaded a monster, While a man made an animal die. Only one of these does birth a legend. Just what is the difference and why? The first man's acclaimed, not the second - Though the two deeds, they were much the same. Is it a matter of fame, or charisma, Or a witness there praising his name? For now that you're known as a hero, Your quiet life is at an end. You'll be sought out, respected, exalted - But what man can just be your friend? The name 'hero' can be a blessing. The name 'hero' can be a curse. Let each man who's lived with this honor Decide if life's better or worse. |
