Hero (made popular by Linda Eder) [vocal version]

Once you built a stairway to the sky

Paved with dreams that I still remember

Do you remember

Now you've lost the heart to even try

I will not stand by

As you surrender

There's no surrender

So lift up your broken wings and fly

You are my hero

A giant in my eyes

Forever young and strong and wise

Go find him go find the man you used to be

I know he's out there

Somewhere he's out there

Bring back my hero to me

So you're not the man you were before

It's time to close that door

And start living

While you're still living

All of us are casualties of war

Cast upon the shore of indifference

So much indifference

Only a hero could endure

And you are my hero

A giant in my eyes

Forever young and strong and wise

Go find him go find the man you used to be

I know he's out there

Somewhere he's out there

Bring back my hero to me

Forever young and strong and wise

Inside you there burns a flame that never dies now

And forever always and ever

You'll be a hero

In my eyes
