Some people write the songs the hero sings
They're the ones that make the music such a special thing
Some people act out life for everyone to see
Real life doesn't work itself out in a two hour scene

All you do is like the idols you choose, they decide if you win or lose
All you ask is for one more chance to find a hero that takes a stand

Some people stop and stare at what others try to be
They just don't understand I'm trying to find me
I've known people that have found the rainbow early on in life
I've known people that have sold their soul just to get the same high

All you do is like the idols you choose, they decide if you win or lose
All you ask is for one more try to find a hero to idolize

We all need a hero to call our own
Some place that we can call our home
Some place we will never ever be alone
We all need a hero to call our own

The unsung heroes of yesterday are all too soon forgotten
Like the reasons for the senseless wars they died and fought in
For those of you who seek to fly where only eagles dare
For those of you with a silver spoon is there a hero you could spare

All you do is like the idols you choose, they decide if you win or lose
All you ask is for another shot to find a friend that means a lot

We all need a hero to call our own
Some place that we can call our home
Some place we will never ever be alone
We all need a hero to call our own

We all need a hero to call our own
Some place that we can call our home
Some place we will never ever be alone
We all need a hero to call our own
