When You Meet Your Heroes

When I was young
I wanted the sky
And for you to see me in it
And cry

When I was young
I wanted to fly
Even then I knew
I wanted to go out with a bang

Little one
With her shoebox
Full of heroes
Tucked away under the bed

When I was young
They said I would meet them in the sky
And together we would fly
Singing we would fly

And it's been so long
It's been so long for me
Loving you in silence
Takes its toll
It's been so long

When you meet your heroes do you know them
When you meet your heroes
When you meet your heroes
Do you know them

When its been so long
It's been too long for me
Loving you in silence
Takes its toll
It's been so long

Do you hear the songs they're singing
Do you know the words and the joy they are bringing
But most of all

They promised you wings to fly
And where are they now
