Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looking back through time
We are in debt to the leaders
Angels of mercy, every one
Good folks who believed
There was no good and evil
Fought long and hard
Until the battles all were won
[Verse 2]
Heroes make the sun rise in the morning
Heroes make the moon shine bright at night
Heroes make our lives a little stronger
In the soul of everyone
He can be found
[Verse 3]
Give us an anchor or a rod
To lean on
A captain to take us through the storm
What makes a soldier ride alone
Into battle?
Can anybody tell me
Where he's comin' from?
[Verse 4]
He's that stranger on the street
He's that child that's at your feet
Searching for freedom and justice for all
Seen them time and again
You know they only fight to win
They're the challengers of evil
And I'm glad we know that
[Verse 5]
Heroes make the sun rise in the morning
Heroes make the moon shine bright at night
Heroes make our lives a little stronger
All our fears go away
When he's 'round
When he's 'round
[Verse 6]
Whoa
Heroes make the sun rise in the morning
Heroes make the moon shine bright at night
Heroes make our lives a little stronger
If you look you'll surely see
They're you and me
[Verse 7]
Heroes
Are plain old people
Plain old people
They're the heroes, yeah
Heroes, ah
