Heroes (Memory Lane version)

[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] I found myself Walking down a street I used to know. It felt like yesterday, Though it was so long ago----- It was on that big hill Where I used to day dream Where I thought anything was possible If I only truly believed—~~ I came across that ol’ school yard Where I used to play. Now everything’s brand new. How I’ve come a long way—~~ I used to think that adults in my life had failed me Huh------ O–~~—__ [Chorus] Now that I’m older, I’m beginning to see; That things aren’t so simple As I once believed them to be. That Heroes weren’t born, they’re made through suffering and pain. By walking through fire, and withstanding the rain. I wanted a hundred percent, But they didn’t have it to give. They were still fighting their own battles, and just trying to live--- With demons from their past. No, they weren’t heroes. It’s just now that I see; they were only human, Just like me. [Verse 2] I can’t help but think Of how far I’ve come; I can resent all my losses, but not every battle’s meant to be won. There are hidden blessings We may not understand at the time Because we’re distracted By the uphill climb These are some lessons I’ve learned along the way And each day I’m realizing more That we mostly live in the gray [Chorus] Now that I’m older, I’m beginning to see; That things aren’t so simple As I once believed them to be. That Heroes weren’t born, they’re made through suffering and pain. By walking through fire, and withstanding the rain. I wanted a hundred percent, But they didn’t have it to give. They were still fighting their own battles, and just trying to live--- With demons from their past. No, they weren’t heroes. It’s just now that I see; they were only human, Just like me. O----- Hmmmm----- Ah------- [Instrumental outro]
