Once We Were Heroes
THE STORY
When we're kids, we have no doubt that we can do or be anything. That's an incredible way to think and live. Gradually through the years, we manage to lose most of that incredible belief. Some Teachers, colleagues, bosses, family, people we date and friends may tell us that our big dreams are not possible, not practical, unrealistic....maybe even, crazy. We may even completely let go and forget that these dreams and beliefs ever existed. Yet somehow, bits of these feelings linger and quietly call to us throughout our life, until we choose to start listening and dreaming again. We all, somewhere inside, long to recapture that feeling and belief in our self. We hope you have found your hero inside.
THE LYRICS
____________________
Heroes Once More
Once we were fearless
Powered by dreams.
Once we were Heroes.
Alive, so it seemed.
Time took our courage
Fear doused our rage
safe in the middle
Heroes had changed
I'm lost I'm lost
Will I be found?
I'm trapped I'm trapped
Come let me out
( repeat)
(but) Safety's a dead zone
Comfort's a lie
Truth pulls you back out
Or heroes would die
Back on our mountain
Safe on the edge
Living with danger
We're heroes again
I'm lost I'm lost
Will I be found?
I'm trapped I'm trapped
Come let me out
Looking for lines on a gravel road
Grabbing a rope in an endless hole
Waiting for snow in a desert sky
Traded my dreams for 9 to 5
Looking for lines on a gravel road
Grabbing a rope in an endless hole
Waiting for snow in a desert sky
Lost myself to compromise
I lose myself (Heroes Once More)
Most everyday
from turning 'round (Heroes Once More)
The other way
I lose myself. (Heroes Once More)
Cant find the way
I'm looking for (Heroes Once More)
My hero days
