| My mother always told me when I’d look up to the sky
|
| I would see the ancient heroes written in the stars at night
|
| Oh the older I did grow and deeper meanings I did find
|
| These heroes walked beside me, everyday a sacrifice
|
| To give in a time of desperation
|
| To fight for the future of mankind
|
| Oh no it’s not easy
|
| But I’ll try to see beyond myself
|
| Oh why is it such a challenge?
|
| Oh I’ll try, yes I’ll try to do this world right
|
| Cause I wanna be a modern day hero
|
| Oh I have always wondered how somebody got so brave
|
| How they’d suffer for another, they would do whatever it takes
|
| Oh they’ve seen their share of hell
|
| And their life’s the price they pay
|
| They’d do it all over again for their reasons never change
|
| To give when you’re stronger than another
|
| To fight when you realize you can
|
| Oh no it’s not easy
|
| But I’ll try to see beyond myself
|
| Oh why is it such a challenge?
|
| Oh I’ll try, yes I’ll try to do this world right
|
| Cause I wanna, I wanna be
|
| A modern day hero
|
| Oh no it’s not easy
|
| But I’ll try to see beyond myself
|
| Oh why is it such a challenge?
|
| Oh I’ll try, yes I’ll try to do this world right
|
| I wanna be a modern day hero
|
| Oh a modern day hero
|
| Oh a modern day hero! |
