Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Am I a hero?
Am I a hero now?
Am I a hero?
Am I a hero now?
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Please don't shoot me down
I love you like a brother
It's on the news again
I guess they killed another
[Verse 3]
Am I a hero?
Am I a hero now?
To die a hero
Is all that we know now
[Verse 4]
Oh, we all get told to go alone
Oh, we know it's hard for sure
We know
We know
[Verse 5]
Am I a hero?
Am I a hero now?
To die a hero
Is all that we know now
Yeah
[Verse 6]
(Ooh, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah)
[Verse 7]
Am I a hero?
A fallen hero now?
Hear my sin Lord
So he ain't no hero now
[Verse 8]
Am I a hero?
My gun to reload now
A broken people
There go a hero now
