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)
