I needed a hero in these dark times.
So I became one.
I decided it was time
I made a hero out of myself.
So I did.

I needed to be a better person.
So I became one.
I decided it was time
I let go of the rope.
So I did.

I needed someone to look up to.
So I became one.
I decided it was time
I became more than I was.
So I did.

People like me needed a voice
So I became one.
I decided it was time
I let the past go.
So I did.
