The Hero lyrics

Artist  : J. Englishman 
Song : The Hero



 Send "The Hero" Ringtone to your Cell 

 												
														   Well I've been watching from the
shadows 

 While you shook your fist at God 

 And screamed for all who listened 

 About how he's done you wrong 

 Why don't you put away your pistols 

 Climb down off your cross 

 Coz the battle's long been over 

 And the war is long since lost 

 And all those bridges that you've broken 

 Done burned down long ago 

 Coz you just had to be the superstar 

 Just had to be the hero 

 You just had to be the hero 

 

 Well I was there in the beginning 

 And I saw you choose your path 

 I watched your candle burning 

 And I knew it wouldn't last 

 Coz when experience comes knocking 

 Innocence will pass 

 And all that once seemed child-like 

 Is now ugly, crude and crass 

 And you wonder how you lost yourself 

 So many years ago 

 Coz you just had to be the superstar 

 Just had to be the hero 

 You just had to be the hero 

 

 Are you as angry on the inside 

 As you are on the surface 

 Been frontin' so long you've forgotten the
purpose 

 Now there's a hole in the whole 

 Where your soul 

 Used to be 

 

 Well I've been watching from the shadows 

 While you shook your fist at God 

 And screamed for all who listened 

 About how he's done you wrong 

 Why don't you put away your pistols 

 Climb down off your cross 

 Coz the battle's long been over 

 And the war is long since lost 

 And now this old broken heart 

 Weeps for the one I used to know 

 Who just had to be the superstar 

 Just had to be the hero 

 You just had to be the hero 

 Why did you have to be the hero
