The Hero

Waking up to the sound
Sirens screaming aloud
So disoriented, how'd this happen?
These buildings are crumbling down

Everyone panic, this monster's gone manic
Pray somethin' can turn this around
My cities in ruins, I'm feeling so useless
Can't even get off of the ground

I'm calling all heroes, legends and stars
Anyone listening just open your heart
I've gotta do something
I wish I were strong enough to see
A hero in me

All these people, they need me
But fears got me freezing
I can't even get off the floor
All these minutes are fleeting
More damage he's leaving
Don't wanna be a coward anymore

I'm trembling, I'm quivering
This menace is winning
It's lurking like a one-sided war
My people are bleeding
They're dying and screaming
Just lying here watching them burn

I'm calling all heroes, legends and stars
Anyone listening just open your heart
We gotta do something, we're falling apart
Lose everything

I wish I were better, I wish I had strength
I wish I had anything to prove I was brave
Can't watch and do nothing
Hiding away, try to believe
A hero could live in me

He won't back down
Family crying out
Made such a mess of my conscience
It's making me nauseous
My world is crumbling, can't watch and do nothing
I'm done with this panic, I'll hop into action
And save this town

I don't need no heroes, no legends or stars
The fight is within us, just open your hearts
We ain't going under, this city is ours to take everything

We're born for this moment, this moment is ours
Now the battle is turning, we're making our mark
Together, we're stronger, he's falling apart
Seems they retreat
Now heroes are all I see
