A Time For Heroes Lyrics

In ancient Babylon, Hammurabi came up with his law

With the best of intentions, he just couldn't seem to see the glaring flaw

Peace was the aim and while we all still hold him in awe

He was the first to protect the rich at the expense of the poor

Surely now it's time for a change

Time to face into the wind and the rain

We need heroes now who can make their mark

When change begins, it begins with a spark

Can you feel it now? The change in the air

Time for a world that is just and fair

Are we heroes? Are we fools

We are the ones to rewrite these rules

Through all the ages we've been told we need the rule of law

Even though sometimes we seem to forget what these rules are really for

Now who amongst us is prepared to argue that it is right

That where you're born determines all of your chances in life.

Surely now it's time for a change

Time to face into the wind and the rain

We need heroes now who can make their mark

When change begins, it begins with a spark

Can you feel it now? The change in the air

Time for a world that is just and fair

Are we heroes? Are we fools

We are the ones to rewrite these rules

Can you feel it now - don't you feel it

Are we heroes? Are we fools

We are the ones to rewrite these rules
