The best of us are the heroes
Saviors, survivors, warriors of the light
Living to fight the good fight
To face death and hate and fear and despair
So the least of us can have a second chance
A chance to be the best of us
'Cus the best of us don't want the fame
Don't want the glory, the pain
The hurt, heartache, and tears
Of being greater
Of being good
The best of us are the heroes
Putting the world before wants
Stepping up to the plate
In front of the knife
Defending the weak and defenseless
Alone against hell
The best of us are the heroes
We aspire to be them
Desire to know them
Wish to look in the mirror and see them
While they stare back and say
I don't want it
The best of us are the heroes
The Captain America
The Harry Potter
The Frodo Baggins and Samwise the Brave
The Thorin Oakenshield and Luke Skywalker
The Spider Man, Percy Jackson, and Anakin in the end
The Thor who gives himself for the world
The Eowyn who fights to save her people
The Katniss Everdeen who volunteers for a sister
Eragon who gives up his future
Gregor the Overlander who dies but still lives
And Alex Rider who won't ever turn his back
The best of us are those heroes
Those dying, tortured souls
Those saviors and survivors
Those eternally fighting,
Always resisting,
Forever giving everything
Those warriors of the light.
