Hero

There's nothing you can do to take the pain away

You may find broken dreams are the price of the games we play

Closing the door, you hope the world will disapear

Then you can open your eyes and you find everyone's still here

Don't you know

Weren't you told?

First they build you up

Just to knock you down

Steal the crown of the hero from yesterday

Were you flying high just before the fall?

Did they make you a king

Just to take it all?

Steal the crown of the hero from yesterday

Players only play till the curtain falls

Hero

They couldn't let you go

There's no way out in time

They'd only let you grow to cut you down to size

No room for tears when you've gone down in history

No acclaim when your finest hour is just a memory

Hero

We can dream our dreams

But who knows if they'll fade away

Like heroes

First they build you up

Just to knock you down

Steal the crown of the hero from yesterday

Were you flying high just before the fall?

We all dream the dreams of heroes
