We Don't Need a Hero lyrics

When you wake up in the fire
And your harbor lies in ruins
You wonder why the giant has been shot
Fired off down from the sky

You plead for explantation
Is it accident or rule
And where is your childhood hero
To drive all the demons away

What if the light
Shines in darkness my friend
And darkness just can't comprehend
So blaze the trail on your own
Go it alone

We are falling - falling to rise
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
We don't need a hero
We are falling - falling to rise
No charlatan to show you the light
We don't need a hero

Indignty is the leader
To escort us to fen
Where they say the light is endemic
If only I could comprehend

Now you're old enough to face it
Rabble's stones give pain
Hit you as they watch your tracks
Apart from the way that they understand

What if the light...

Oh we don't need a hero
No we don't need a hero
