Hero [Acoustic Version]

[Intro] You, you [Verse 1] Little girl, only seventeen years old Life just got in the way, don't know what to say She's heard it all before, lying on her bedroom floor Thinking my life has to be worth more She dreams of going to New York City Her heart's already there, but her head's fighting a war Little girl, only seventeen years old Looking for a star but it's just too dark [Chorus] When streams get a little bit wider And it's hard to swim across the water And the scars get a little bit deeper And a flame turns into a fire Tonight whеn you need a way home Someone to lеan on, some kind of hero It's there when you look in the mirror Staring back at you, there's a hero in you [Post-Chorus] You, you, there's a hero in you You, you, there's a hero in you [Verse 2] Old man trying to make it on his own Looking at the space where his wife once was Wants to find just something to believe in He hears a knock at the door this evening She says, "I'm going to New York City to follow my dreams Would you come with me?" Little girl, only seventeen years old Looking for the stars in her granddad's eyes [Chorus] The streams get a little bit wider But together they cross the river And the scars get a little bit lighter And the sky looks a little brighter Tonight when you need a way home Someone to lean on, some kind of hero It's there when you look in the mirror Staring back at you, there's a hero in you [Outro] Ooh, ooh, there's a hero in you Ooh, ooh, there's a hero in you
