Hero

You, you

Little girl, only seventeen years old
Life just got in the away
Don't know what to say
She's heard it all before
Lying on her bedroom floor
Thinking my life has to be worth more

She dreams of going to New York City
Her heart's already there
But her head's fighting a war
Little girl, only seventeen years old
Looking for a star
But it's just too dark

When the streams get a little bit wider
And it's hard to swim across the water
And the scars get a little bit deeper
And the flame turns into a fire

Tonight when you need a way home
Someone to lean one
Some kind of hero
It's there when you look in the mirror
Staring back at you
There's a hero in you

You, you
There's a hero in you
You, you
There's a hero in you

Old man, trying to make it on his own
Looking at the space
Where his wife once was
Wants to find just something to believe in
He hears a knock
At the door this evening

She says I'm going to New York City
To follow my dreams
Would you come with me
Little girl, only seventeen years old
Looking at the stars
In her granddad's eyes

And the streams get a little bit wider
But together they cross the river
And the scars gets a little bit lighter
And the sky looks a little brighter

Tonight when you need a way home
Someone to lean one
Some kind of hero
It's there when you look in the mirror
Staring back at you
There's a hero in you

You, you
There's a hero in you
You, you
There's a hero in you

You, you
