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
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
