Hero

Writers(s): Cynthia Erivo, Kaveh Rastegar

Publisher(s): Lyrics © Wixen Music Publishing

Living in a time where the brave feel helpless
And the strong, strong are weak
They don't see, they don't see a way out of the darkness
So they fall, fall to their knees

See, I wanna be a hero
I wanna be a hero
I wanna save somebody
Make them free
Take the bars from off the prison cage

Mother stands alone as her baby's crying
Can you hear what he's saying?
He says "I can't breathe" so she holds him
And sings hush, hush my darling
As he takes his last gasp of air

But I wanna be a hero
I wanna be a hero
Want you to be a hero
Keep him here with me, yeah

Superman won't save you (whoa, no)
Spiderman won't care (no, whoa)
It's human obligation (whoa, oh, whoa)
To lift you up and take you there (whoa, whoa)
No costumes, no, not necessary (whoa, no)
Cloaks and capes do not apply (no, they don't apply, whoa)
Your heart's the thing that gives you patience (whoa, whoa)
All the strength to make you try (whoa, whoa)

I wanna be a hero
Want you to be a hero
I wanna save somebody
Make them free
Take the bars from off the prison cage
I wanna be a hero (I wanna be, yeah)
Want you to be a hero (Oh)
I wanna save somebody
Make them free, yeah
