Lyrics

[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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Tonight when you need a way home

Someone to lead on, some kind of hero

It's there when you look in the mirror

Staring back at you, there's a hero in

[Verse 4]

You, you

There's a hero in you, you

There's a hero in you

[Verse 5]

Old man tryna make it on his own

Looking at the space where his wife once was

Wants to find there's 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 at the stars in her granddad's eyes

[Verse 6]

And 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

[Verse 7]

Tonight when you need a way home

Someone to lead on, some kind of hero

It's there when you look in the mirror

Staring back at you, there's a hero in

[Verse 8]

You, you

There's a hero in you, you

There's a hero in you

[Verse 9]

(You, you)
