You can't take a trip
|
If you don't first say goodbye
|
You can't find a star
|
If you don't look up in the sky
|
You can't find a light
|
If you don't know where the dark ends
|
And you can't change the heroes and friends
|
|
You can't light a spark
|
If you don't first carry a flame
|
You can't take the weight
|
Of a single ounce of shame
|
You can't change the signal
|
Just the message that it sends
|
The message of the heroes and friends
|
|
You can't touch the screen
|
You can take the place of love
|
You can disappear in ether
|
When pushes come to shove
|
And you can walk the night
|
Into the dawn
|
And back again
|
Looking for the heroes and friends
|
|
You can ride the back roads
|
Of the hometowns of the world
|
You can collide on sidewalks
|
In a neon light of blur
|
You can rush the stages
|
And believe the words again
|
Looking for the heroes and friends
|
|
You can dedicate your life
|
To breaking down the walls
|
To ringing the alarm
|
Screaming down the halls
|
You can stand in judgment
|
Of the meaning in the air
|
Then we are all just heroes and friends
|
|
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
|
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
|
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
|
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
|
|
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
|
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
|
Looking for the heroes and friends
|
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
|
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
|
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
|
|
Why do we sacrifice our lives?
|
To what is left when it all ends
|
When all we want is heroes and friends
|
