H.e.r.o. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen
Lift me up
Let me levitate
Help me get my feet off the ground

Wanna jump out of gravity
The weight in me is pulling me down
All in all we can't decide it
On and on we try to fight it
You don't wanna wait around.

Oh oh - listen to your beating-
Heart
Cause you don't wanna hurt no more

Oh oh - listen to your beating
Heart
Cause we don't wanna wait no, more
For someone else to save us
(Cause) someone else is gonna break us

Hurting is gonna bring us down.

We are more than the shape of us
Burning eyes are leading the way
Knock me out, rub me in the dust
I am stepping out of the shade

All in all we can't decide it




On and on we try to fight it
You don't wanna wait around.

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And that emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you, oh, oh
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away, hey yeah
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you
Mmm, that a hero lies in you

I went to bed feeling so hopeless about life, like there’s nothing good for me to look forward to, but I woke up from sleep with this song singing in me, I haven’t heard or listen to this for years now, when I listened to it tears fell down my eyes, overwhelmed by God’s love who put the song in my heart that morning. Can’t thank and praise Jesus enough.
