Hero lyrics

I know your love was something

I could not understand

So you wrapped the flesh 'round mystery

And took on the form of man

At times I cannot comprehend it

But I know that it is true

If I could be a hero

If I could be a hero

If I could be a hero

I'd wanna be a hero just like you

Cause they say that when you died

You were barely thirty-three

And to touch the world you love

It will be through your life in me

I know you died to make men holy

But you live to set them free

If I could be a hero

If I could be a hero

If I could be a hero

I'd wanna be a hero just like you

You, you never once looked back

You hung on the cross and gave your life for me

You, you didn't take up a rod to rule

You took up a towel, and you washed my feet

And you, you are beautiful

You're beautiful to me, to me

If I could be a hero

If I could be a hero

If I could be a hero

I'd wanna be a hero just like you

Hero just like you
