Heroes Lyrics

Listen, look at a screen

What do you see

I see a kid

Staring at me

Following dreams

I was once him

Late in my room

Searching for bliss

I'd go to school

They would just diss

All on my sneaks

Laugh at my fits

Had zero friends

Come to defend

Turn to a game

Soften the hits

I'd run to the net

Look for a model

I was tryna find a place for my solace

Maybe I could become just like my idols

This young kid grew up and finally realized

All of your heroes gon die away

One day look up and it's not the same

Just left with regret and myself to blame

For trusting a mortal who can't sustain

Just another human who will let me down

Man, I spent my whole life tryna leave the ground

Thought I could go take flight and reach the skies

One day I'll gaze in my idol eyes

Cause I need a hero

All these celebrities constantly letting me down

I need a hero

They speaking in lies and pretend that it's super profound

I need a hero

We running a race that will end six feet in the grave

I need a hero

In search of the One who won't leave all my loved ones depraved

I stepped in the game the whole culture switched

There's finally someone that cares for the fans

Not superficial

I take so much time out my day to go respond to all your DM's

Responsibility just comes with the platform

Not in a competition see who pack more

All the arenas and stadiums

Mean nothing if what we're saying ain't impactful

Huh, there's literal people starving for much more than I can give

Pent up questions, when you need to vent

Cause right now I feel like my flesh is spent

Cause they need a hero

I feel like I'm constantly letting everybody down

They need a hero

They searching for truth, but a hypocrite is what they found

They need a hero

I'm running my race that will end 6 feet in the grave

They need a hero

I'm not one who will satisfy the most depraved

Look, look, look

I finally found it

The One who will free me from storms when I'm drowning

The One who will shield me when enemies pounding

Lord, increase the depth of my faith to move mountains

Treat me like you did young Peter inside of that boat

Like Job, when you took everything that he owned

Cause it's no game, saying He's written the code

The Scriptures give me a new home

Jesus, I'm home

This world just a land that I roam

Till I'm seated right next to your throne

I'm never alone

You breathing fresh life in my bones

Christ is my new cornerstone

No need to be known

When the God of the world took my yoke

It wasn't a joke

We sat and just watched as our Savior got stoned

True heroes sacrifice it all for their own

You are my hero, Jesus

I give it all to you

And it don't matter if every single plan is falling through

You're my Lord

You're my King

You're my Shepherd

Give me the eyes

To see

Your blessings

Jesus
