Jefferey Gaines Hero In Me Lyrics

Hero In Me Lyrics

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.
