Hero

You’ve never seen a battle’s blood
Heard the ring of a bullet shot
Carried a dead man down the stairs
But I know that you’ve got

What it takes to be a hero
Can you tell me what it means to be strong?
It seems that you are some kind of hero
Don’t know what I’d do if you’re ever gone

I’ve never seen a meaning smile
Or heard songs quite like yours
Your hands are worn and shining
Showing that you’ve always got

What it takes to be a hero
I can tell you what it means to be strong
You sure seem to be some kind of hero
Don’t know what they’d do if you’re ever gone

It’s all about the way your eyes can glow
It’s everything that you say to me
When I around your spirit shows
Then inside I really know

What it takes to be a hero
Is more than red stripes and white stars
All that we need to be a hero
Is a country with freedom just like ours.
