Hero Boy

Текст песни

[Verse 1] He keeps a cracked compass in his coat And a folded map from years ago When the mill-town siren cuts the air He’s already running up the stairs [Pre-Chorus] No cape, no crown, no grand parade Just a promise that he never breaks [Chorus] Hero boy, stand your ground When the whole world’s shaking, you don’t back down Hero boy, hear us call You’re the small-town spark that can outshine it all [Verse 2] He knows every shortcut by the tracks Carries June’s old lunchbox on his back There’s a little kid caught in the flood And he wades straight in through the rising mud [Pre-Chorus] No silver shield, no easy way Just two steady hands and a heart that stays [Chorus] Hero boy, stand your ground When the whole world’s shaking, you don’t back down Hero boy, hear us call You’re the small-town spark that can outshine it all [Bridge] When the bridge gives way, when the lights go black When the brave turn pale and the crowd steps back He looks that fear in the eye and says “Not while I can still take one more step” [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Hero boy, stand your ground When the whole world’s shaking, you don’t back down Hero boy, hear us call You’re the small-town spark that can outshine it all Hero boy, stand your ground Every hand reaches when you’re around Hero boy, now they all know A true hero’s heart is the strongest thing we know [Outro] Hero boy Stand your ground
