|
He's lived as long as he possibly can |
|
Given the circumstance. |
|
Because he's protected himself from the world |
|
He never gave it a chance, and he says |
|
Here in my security |
|
I've put a limit on my self-potential and my possibility. |
|
She's seen these walls and they never change |
|
Everything's in its place. |
|
Her relationships so neatly arranged |
|
Down to religion and race, and she says |
|
Here in my security |
|
I don't make a move unless my friends approve, I do what's expected of me. |
|
And as I grow older, and there's so much that I do not know' |
|
I'm drawn to those who are older, and go where no one dared to go. |
|
And I Sleep, and I dream of the person I might have been, and I'll be free again |
|
And I Speak, like someone who's been to the highest peaks, and back again |
|
And I Swear, that my grass is greener than anyone's, until I believe again |
|
Then I Wake, and the dream fades away and I face the day and I realize |
|
That there's got to be some hero in me, there's got to be some hero in me, |
|
there's got to be some hero in me, there's got to be some hero in me. |
|
They've been suppressing their every desire, |
|
They do nothing on a whim |
|
She's lost her sparkle and he's lost the fire |
|
Their future looks very dim, and I say |
|
Here in my security |
|
I've simply let myself go out, develop a cold dependency |
|
And as I grow older, and so many places that I have not been' |
|
Time is tapping my shoulder, I hope its never too late to begin. |
|
And I Sleep, and I dream of the person I might have been, and I'll be free again |
|
And I Speak, like someone who's been to the highest peaks, and back again |
|
And I Swear, that my grass is greener than anyone's, until I believe again |
|
Then I Wake, and the dream fades away and I face the day and I realize |
|
That there's got to be some hero in me, there's got to be some hero in me, |
|
there's got to be some hero in me, there's got to be some hero in me. |
