Lyrics

Be your own hero
No-one else is gonna do it for you

Be your own hero
No-one is gonna is do it better than you

verse 1
There’s no right or wrong
if we don’t get along
I going move to my own drumbeat
why don’t you move to your drumbeat

Well I’m a state of my own
I’ve been working at it for so long
Before your heart turns into stone
trip into the unknown

verse 2
I’m gonna swim it on my own
Gonna cross it on my own
you think you cant be alone
Out of pain a hero is born

verse 3
Its my liberation song
I got things to do
so I’ll be gone
I’ll see you down the line
I got things to do
and not much time

middle eight
I’m too cool for the fools on the hill
I’m a hero you don’t need to kill
I don’t need you to do any more
I’ve got it covered
I rely on myself when I’m down on the floor
