Hero
Who would want to be a hero?
The weight of the world resting its fate in your hands
No one wants the job of a hero
Hours unsociable
Non-negotiable
Don't get me started
Keep your ticker tape
Keep the spandex and the cape
I know that's not you
But there's a future you can see
That will require bravery
No one ever plans to be
The hero
I won't put my name down for hero
Don't think I'm too weak
I just need two weeks to think
Lives that I have saved total zero
Danger lies ahead
Ask someone else instead
Captain excuses
What about the ones
Who are righting all the wrongs?
I see that in you
The better world that you can see
Maybe that's your destiny
No one ever plans to be the hero
Martin the boy didn't
Set his sights on civil rights
Theresa didn't think at five
How Calcutta might thrive
Everything is wrong
And you want to say it's not OK
It's not taking chances
In these circumstances
They choose you
You don't see yourself as a hero
The kind and the brave learn
They don't earn accolades
The fire inside you is still here though
When something isn't fair
Who's the first one there?
Light in the darkness
Justice burns within
Coursing underneath your skin
I love that in you
The better world that you can see
Maybe that's your destiny
No one ever plans to be
The hero
The better world that you can see
That's your destiny
No one ever plans to be
The hero
The weight of the world resting its fate in your hands
No one wants the job of a hero
Hours unsociable
Non-negotiable
Don't get me started
Keep your ticker tape
Keep the spandex and the cape
I know that's not you
But there's a future you can see
That will require bravery
No one ever plans to be
The hero
I won't put my name down for hero
Don't think I'm too weak
I just need two weeks to think
Lives that I have saved total zero
Danger lies ahead
Ask someone else instead
Captain excuses
What about the ones
Who are righting all the wrongs?
I see that in you
The better world that you can see
Maybe that's your destiny
No one ever plans to be the hero
Martin the boy didn't
Set his sights on civil rights
Theresa didn't think at five
How Calcutta might thrive
Everything is wrong
And you want to say it's not OK
It's not taking chances
In these circumstances
They choose you
You don't see yourself as a hero
The kind and the brave learn
They don't earn accolades
The fire inside you is still here though
When something isn't fair
Who's the first one there?
Light in the darkness
Justice burns within
Coursing underneath your skin
I love that in you
The better world that you can see
Maybe that's your destiny
No one ever plans to be
The hero
The better world that you can see
That's your destiny
No one ever plans to be
The hero
