Hero
“I’m really just not in an eating mood.It’s got nothing to do with the change in my pocket.”When I catch a view of you from the side,That’s exactly what I end up wanting to say.
If the world is thrust into danger tomorrow,And I was charged with saving it from the end,Though I’d give it my all, though it’d be so cool,It’s just a fantasy. Nothing but a fantasy.
And then there’s you, clinging tight to my corpse with all your might.Crying all the while, you whisper to me all about what a great job I did.
I'll be the hero.Don’t care if everyone laughs at me.Life is always the first act of a comedy, don’t you know?And when I tell you to leave everything up to me,I’m just as worried as you.A hero facing the cliff.
No matter what you say, a world in crisis,Won’t always come as fast as you would expect.And the crises of life themselves always find their way to me just as well.
Even if you’re alone, hold on to your dreams.If your dreams shatter, keep your head held high.And if you’re head’s too heavy, at least keep on living.But you’ll still find some people who say that even living is already too hard.
And when we find ourselves on the edge of calamity,The blow that’ll save us all will surely be one of raw fury or pure anguish.
I'll be the hero.Doesn’t matter how beat up I get.The red of the blood dripping from my nose. The white of the snow in the country.The cuts from countless losses and the haughty challengers before me. A hero facing the cliff.
Lives spent counting pennies again and again. Lives spent trapped that end with a rope and a chair.You hear about them so often that you’re no longer surprised.The world might just be in the midst of a crisis.And even though nobody asked for it,I think I could do it. I think it might be cool.And if I’m really gonna do it, no better time like the present.Because even if the world itself is looking for a cure,It’ll keep on getting more and more rotten ‘til the end.
Everyone’s a hero.Like that could ever be true.This so-called garbage dump made of all the mundane masses.And there I’ll win the day, promising never to give up. The biggest chest of us all. I'll be the hero.
This is the absolute worst-case scenario.Even so I’ll stand tall and proud.I’ll be the hero.
