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.
Too tired to think
About me or anybody else
Breathe out and blink
This earth could swallow me and I couldn't care less
Am I ok?
I'm not really sure
Then I heard somebody say
Don't lose hope
You've got this in the bag
You know you're getting older
But live long while you can
Some turn invisible
But that's not original
Might not be invincible
But you're still a hero
Wake up and sleep
A constant cycle that I can't seem to break
See em and weep
My days are lonely and no one understands
Am I doing ok?
I'm on my feet and hands
Then I heard somebody say
Don't lose hope
You've got this in the bag
You know you're getting older
But live long while you can
Some turn invisible
But that's not original
Might not be invincible
But you're still my hero
Don't leave us just yet
Your time ain't done
Don't take your last breath
You are so loved
Don't lose hope
You've got this in the bag
You know you're getting older
But live long while you can
Oh, no
Don't lose hope
You've got this in the bag
You know you're getting older
But live long while you can
Some turn invisible
But that's not original
Might not be invincible
But you're still my hero, dad
