Don’t tell the gods I left a mess
I can’t undo what has been done
Let’s run for cover
What if I’m the only hero left?
You better fire off your gun
Once and forever
He said go dry your eyes
And live your life like there is no tomorrow, son
And tell the others
To go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard
We are the heroes of our time
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…
The crickets sing a song for you
Don’t say a word, don’t make a sound
It’s life’s creation
I make worms turn into butterflies
Wake up and turn this world around
In appreciation
He said I never left your side
When you were lost I followed right behind
Was your foundation
Now go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard
Now sing together
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…
We are the heroes
(We keep dancing with the demons)
(You could be a hero)
Now go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard
Now sing together
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes, oh whoa…
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes, oh whoa…
We are the heroes
