You know that I hate to be wrong and I fake being strong sometimes

You know that I hate going off on the same old problems time after time

I always looked for a hero

Noble and fearless

Someone to "show me how Jesus loves"

Always wanted an idol

A shadow to hide in

Away from the fear of messing up

It's a bird, it's a plane, could it be

The hero we all need

The hero we all need

It's a bird, it's a plane, could it be

What no one else could be

What no one else could be

The hero we all need

The hero we all need

I was surrounded by phantoms that laughed at my failure to stand

Until I was found by the champion that valiantly raised me with His righteous right hand

I always looked for a hero

Noble and fearless

But nobody loves me like Jesus does

He is greater than idols

A refuge to hide in

He is my strength and my cornerstone

It's a bird, it's a plane, could it be

The hero we all need

The hero we all need

I called His name and He came and set me free

What can mortals do to me

What can mortals do to me

The hero we all need

I called His name and He came and set me free

What other hero could I need
