Looking back through time we are in debt to the leaders
Angels of mercy every one
Good folks who believed there was no good in evil
Fought long and hard until the battles all were won

Heroes make the sun rise in morning
Heroes make the moon shine bright at night
Heroes make our lives a little stronger
In the soul of everyone, he can be found

Give us an anchor or a rock to lean on
A captain to take us through the storm
What makes a soldier ride alone into battle?
Can anybody tell me where he's coming from?

He's that stranger on the street; he's that child that's at your feet
Searching for freedom and justice for all
We've seen them time and again; you know they only fight to win
They're the challengers of evil, and I'm glad we know them

Heroes make the sun rise in the morning
Heroes make the moon shine bright at night
Heroes make our lives a little stronger
All our fears go away when he's around
When he's around

Heroes make the sun rise in the morning
Heroes make the moon shine bright at night
Heroes make our lives a little stronger
If you look, you'll surely see...

...they're you and me

Heroes are plain old people
They're the heroes
