Hero

You don't have to stand so tall I see right through it all And I don't know why It's a weakness to cry You're not on your own You've built those walls so high I've had no chance to climb You've closed that door But I know there's more You're not just not the same Tell my why You won't let me in After all this time trying My patience wears thin You're not a hero And god knows that you're not a saint So put down all your weapons There's no one to blame You say it's just one bad day But how long have you felt this way? I used to sit on your shoulders But now that I'm older That weight's been replaced Tell my why You won't let me in After all this time hiding My patience wears thin You're not a hero And god knows that you're not a saint So put down all your weapons There's no one to blame And I know that I'm not a saviour But just let me re-pay the favour You're only human We're just the same And for the first time Oh, his heart's not so bold And his smile doesn't shine so brightly He once seemed so strong But now that I'm grown I see He's just like me He is not a hero And god knows that he is not a saint Just because you're my father Don't be ashamed I know that I'm not a saviour But just let me re-pay the favour You're only human We're just the same We're just the same We're just the same
