G6th 2x

G6th G6th

He's lived as long as he possibly can given the circumstance

G6th G6th

'cause he's protected himself from the world he never gave it a chance

and he says: here in my security

I've put a limit on my self-potential and my possibility

G6th G6th

She's seen these walls and they never change everything's in its place

G6th G6th

her relationships so neatly arranged down to religion and race

and she says: here in my security

I don't make a move unless my friends approve I do what's expected of me

(bridge)

And as I grow older and there's so much that I do not know

I'm drawn to those who are bolder and go where no one dares to go

(chorus)

And I sleep and I dream of the person I might have been

then I'll be free again

And I speak like someone who's been to the highest peaks and back again

And I swear that my grass is greener than anyone's 'til I believe again

Then I wake and the dream fades away and I face the day and I realize

that there's got to be some hero in me

That there's got to be some hero in me

That there's got to be some hero in me

There's got to be some hero in me

G6th G6th

They've been suppressing their every desire they do nothing on a whim

G6th

she's lost her sparkle and he's lost the fire

G6th

their future looks very dim

And I say: here in my security

I've simply let myself go I've developed a co-dependency

(bridge)

And as I grow older so many places that I've never been

time's tapping my shoulder I hope it's never too late to begin

(Repeat chorus, end on G)
