The Hero

Wait for the sound, Guns ringing loud

You could make your break for safety

Sneak behind the clouds

Smoke drifting in, It's close again

Oh you thought your heart was in it

But your feet won't move to the tune of those drums beating

And all that while you're running through town

The people will watch through the windows

Can't you see them flagging you down

They've already lost, you'll never be found

But on the winds you'll hear them say

That's awfully strange for a hero

Won't sleep tonight, But whie it's light

Gotta get as far away from feeling

Quite hard to tell, Weren't those the bells

Must've been a final plea for help

A bleaker farewell, a last attempt to find you

And all that while you were running through town

The people they watched through the windows

And you could see them flagging you down

But they'd already lost, you'd never be found

And now you know you heard them say

That's terribly low for a hero

And all the while you're running through town

The people will stare through the windows

And you can hear them cheering you on

They've already won, they knew you would come

And through the noise you'll hear them say

That certainly looks like our hero
