Lyrics
Hero
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I, I wanna follow like a shadow
I don’t need no one to see me
I just wanna chase you down
I, I wanna trail like an echo
I don’t need no one to hear me
I just wanna make you loud
I'm about one name, one life, one story
I'm alive to bring you glory
You took my blame
And you paid the debt I owe
I'm gonna lay me down to lift you up
You’re the only king in the kingdom come
If I live, if I die, my life will show
You’re my hero, hero!
Light shattering the darkness
Taking up a cross, you reached beyond my brokenness
Love overturning all the heartache
Taking on a grave
Leaving death powerless
You took the nails
I'm forgiven
Cleared my name
Every sin is
Washed away
It is finished
You’re the reason I am free
I'm about your name, your life, your story
You are who you say you are
The evidence is in my heart
