Hero (Demo)

[Verse 1]

Little girl only 17 years old

Life just got in the way, don't know what to say

She's heard it all before, lying on the 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 17 years old

Looking for a star but it's just too dark

[Pre-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 the flame turns into a fire

[Chorus]

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, you, you

There's a hero in you, you, you

[Verse 2]

Old man tryna make it on his own

Looking at the space where his wife once was

Wants to find just something to believe in

Here's 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 17 years old

Looking at the stars in her granddad's arms

[Pre-Chorus]

When 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

[Chorus]

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, you, you

There's a hero in you, you, you

[Post-Chorus]

Don't be so hard on yourself

Don't be so hard on yourself

Don't be so hard

Don't be so hard on yourself

Don't be so hard on yourself

Don't be so hard on yourself

Don't be so hard

Don't be so hard on yourself
