Letra de «Hero»
When the house fell asleep
There was always a light
And it fell from the page to the eyes
Of an American boy
In a storybook land I could dream what I read When it went to my head I'd see I wanna be a hero
But the practical side Said the question was still When you grow up what will you be? I wanna be a hero
Hero It's a nice-boy notion that the real world's gonna destroy You know It's a Marvel comic book Saturday matinee fairytale, boy Growing older you'll find That illusions are bought And the idol you thought you'd be Was just another zero
I wanna be a hero
Heroes died when the squealers bought 'em off Died when the dealers got 'em off Welcome to the "in it for the money as an idol" show
When they ain't as big as life When they ditch their second wife Where's the boy to go?
Gotta be a hero
Hero It's a nice-boy notion that the real world's gonna destroy You know It's a Marvel comic book Saturday matinee fairytale, boy
When the house fell asleep From a book I was led To a light that I never knew I wanna be your hero And he spoke to my heart From the moment I prayed Here's a pattern I made for you I wanna be your hero
In a storybook land I could dream what I read When it went to my head I'd see I wanna be a hero
But the practical side Said the question was still When you grow up what will you be? I wanna be a hero
Hero It's a nice-boy notion that the real world's gonna destroy You know It's a Marvel comic book Saturday matinee fairytale, boy Growing older you'll find That illusions are bought And the idol you thought you'd be Was just another zero
I wanna be a hero
Heroes died when the squealers bought 'em off Died when the dealers got 'em off Welcome to the "in it for the money as an idol" show
When they ain't as big as life When they ditch their second wife Where's the boy to go?
Gotta be a hero
Hero It's a nice-boy notion that the real world's gonna destroy You know It's a Marvel comic book Saturday matinee fairytale, boy
When the house fell asleep From a book I was led To a light that I never knew I wanna be your hero And he spoke to my heart From the moment I prayed Here's a pattern I made for you I wanna be your hero
