| Oh, we learned of Abraham
|
| Who was ready to give his son
|
| And Noah who kept on
|
| 'Til his job was done
|
| Moses led his children
|
| Safely through the wilderness
|
| These men are gone, we’re here to carry on
|
| But tell me why are we in such a mess
|
| Where are the heroes now
|
| When we need them so desperately
|
| Who will step out from the crowd
|
| And be strong enough to lead
|
| Who will teach the children
|
| Who will show them how
|
| Oh, I’m asking you
|
| Where are the heroes now
|
| There are those we don’t know their names
|
| Who were faithful for their Lord
|
| They were beaten and they were chained
|
| And put to death by the sword
|
| The world was not worthy of them
|
| Is it worthy of me and you
|
| Oh, we say we’ll endure until the end
|
| I pray to God that it’s true
|
| Where are the heroes now
|
| When we need them so desperately
|
| Who will step out from the crowd
|
| And be strong enough to lead
|
| Who will teach the children
|
| Who will show them how
|
| Oh, I’m asking you
|
| Where are the heroes now
|
| We’re surrounded by witnesses
|
| As they watch us run our race
|
| With our eyes on the Author of our faith |
| God is not ignorant
|
| Of the affairs of men and his ways
|
| Oh, He’s put us here to make a stand
|
| He’s calling on us today
|
| He’s calling us to be heroes now
|
| When we need them so desperately
|
| Will you step out from the crowd
|
| And be strong enough to lead
|
| Will you teach the children
|
| Will you show them how
|
| 'Cause they’re asking you
|
| Where are the heroes now
|
| Step up from the crowd
|
| Step up from the crowd
|
| Tell me, where are the heroes now |
