Heroes
The Highwaymen Lyrics

Heroes, larger than life up on the screen
The heroes we see on screen are larger than life, with their bravery and larger than life actions

Every night, on the late show, oh what a great show
We see these heroes every night on the television, and these shows are always great and captivating

Heroes, under the gun fighting for justice
The heroes are always fighting for justice, even when under extreme pressure and danger.

For everyone and we follow, wherever they go
Everyone follows these heroes, and are inspired by them to bravely follow wherever they lead

Heroes, standing up tall, taking their chances
Heroes stand up straight, even in the face of adversity and danger, taking risks to achieve their goals

Risking it all, so you know there'll always be heroes
The heroes risk everything - even their own lives - to make the world a better place because of it, which is why there will always be heroes.

Heroes, so good to know, so hard to find
Heroes are hard to find, but knowing they exist is comforting and inspiring

Sad when they go, like the shadows on the high road
It's a sad day when a hero passes away, like the loss of a shadow that goes away on the highway

Heroes, ever on track, never give up
Heroes remain focused and determined in the face of hardship, and never give up no matter what.

Never look back, never lay low, oh never grow old
They never look back on their past achievements, and never hide from their responsibilities, and they never grow old in spirit and bravery

Heroes, right from the start, they fall in love
Heroes are in love with their purpose right from the start, and they remain committed and passionate through every step of their journey

Straight from the heart, so you know they'll always be heroes
Their purpose and commitment are always true, coming from the heart, which is why they will always be heroes

Ride on safe from all danger, where have you been
The artist is asking where the heroes have been when danger was present, asking them to come back and ride safely

For so long? I've been waiting for another star
The artist has been waiting for another hero to rise and shine, much like stars do

To rise in my night again, give me a reason
The artist needs a hero to rise up so they can find meaning and inspiration in life again

We all must carry on like all the heroes have done
Inspirational heroes must remind us to be brave and determined in our own lives, carrying on and persevering even when we feel like giving up

Heroes, facing the fight, calling for courage
Heroes are always facing a fight, but they inspire courage in others to fight alongside them

Trying to do right, when the dust blows and the light goes
Heroes strive to do what is right, even when it's difficult or when everything seems to be against them

Heroes, tried and true, one for the other
Heroes stick together through thick and thin, standing by each other as they face their challenges

Ready to do it tomorrow like it was the last show
The heroes are always ready to take on their next challenge, doing it with the intensity and passion as if it was their final performance

Heroes, put to the test, keeping a promise
Heroes are constantly tested, but they always keep their promises, committing fully to their cause

Doing their best, so you know there'll always be heroes
The heroes always do their absolute best, encouraging and inspiring other people to become heroes themselves

Ride on, ride on
A call for heroes to continue moving forward and enduring no matter what challenges they face.
