letra de hero - the living wells

[verse 1: moshe friedman]
late at night while the rest of the city sleeps
a boy stares at the comics underneath his linen sheets
about the masked man who cleans up the gritty streets
average kid thinking powers must be pretty sweet
but as he grows he still dreams of the impossible
superhero pajamas by the closetful
notebooks where he scribbles quotes of gandhi
tutors after school, helps his mom with the laundry
flies the moral high road and never takes the middle ground
leaps over bad habits with a single bound
faster than a bullet helping friends before they can ask
man of steel promises, does everything to make it last
all of these without a cape and mask
the word “hero” takes on a newer meaning
an idea so simple that it’s truly freeing
a belief in the power of one human being

[chorus: yosef daniel villareal]
hear their cries in the middle of the night
they wait for light but the sun’s still out of sight
can we find a hero now to save our lives
find a hero now to help us win the fight

[verse 2: moshe friedman]
my childhood used to be another tragic song
thought superheroes were only found on amazon
reading books about wizard kids with magic wands
watching movies about middle earth and aragorn
looked for a real life hero but he isn’t there
no older brother and the teachers didn’t care
politicians are liars, athletes are womanizers
and everyone’s too busy trying to be a billionaire
things glitter from afar, like hollywood movie stars
but up close we see how small they truly are
and we still spend money at the box office
escaping to a world where a hero knocks the socks off us
but the longer we keep waiting for that masked avenger
the sooner man kind will be in for its last adventure
the painful truth could hardly be clearer
if you wanna change the world, better start with the mirror

[chorus]

[verse 3: moshe friedman]
i’ve got a simple plan
that’s to be the kind of guy my daughter thinks i am
to live like i’m portrayed on my instagram
and not be another chip in a pringle’s can
but why am i waiting for that old man
to come grab me by the wrinkled hand
and say “with power comes great responsibility”?
sounds nice but we knew that, didn’t we?
what’s the truth? suspense is k!lling me
if i could leave with a guess i’d say the fear and the stress
we feel in our chest that stops us from from being our best
is not the fear of failure
no, it’s something else, i’d say it’s more like the fear of success
cuz we’re way more powerful than even we know
and if you can lead and not feed your ego
then we need you to stand and be a hero
we need you to be a hero
