"Hero" (The Hero We Need)

Lyrics

Break the rhythm! Its harder than hell
To be the courage to follow yourself
To declare your name as one and the same
With the whole human race, every face, every place


That is the noble,
that is the wise,
that is the human,
that is the kind of hero we need


To give peace a chance with all of your worth
To breathe for giving breath back to the earth
Beyond the dream - to throw your own love
Before hard bullets silence the last dove


This is the noble,
this is the wise,
this is the human,
this is the kind of hero we need


Noble. Wise. Human-kind.


Louder than voices, deeper than words
The river is raging with or without this verse
Millions of people are out in the streets
Millions of people refuse to be meek


These are the noble,
these are the wise,
these are the human,
these are the kind of heroes we need


You are the noble,
you are the wise,
you are the human,
you are the kind of hero we need
