Running out of Heroes - Adam Watts

Born under bright lights

Hearts beat, we’re alive

Trying to be kings and queens

If we’re lucky we’re raised under love

But some of us starve, never get enough

Then we carry that weight up, up

They say we’re running out of heroes

I say they’re looking in the wrong place

'Cause if they really want a hero

It’s in the way, in the way, you take away the pain

All night I sleep on a time bomb

With you by side it never goes off

They say we’re running out of heroes

They don’t see, you and me

And the secret that we both know

Hard falls, long nights

So few sympathize

We stand up, carry on breathing

We can choose to brave it alone

Gain the world while we lose our souls

But to save is beautiful

They say we’re running out of heroes

I say they’re looking in the wrong place

'Cause if they really want a hero

It’s in the way, in the way, you take away the pain

All night I sleep on a time bomb

With you by side it never goes off

They say we’re running out of heroes

They don’t see, you and me

And the secret that we both know
