OK, I'm cheating here - the word hero is not actually IN the song, but just for old times' sake:
Look at what's happened to me, I can't believe it myself. Suddenly I'm up on top of the world, It should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free-. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me
Title: Greatest American Hero Lyrics: Mike Post and Stephen Geyer
And to redeem myself according to the actual rules of the game...
I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life
I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy Lovin' the cowboy ways Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes I burned up my childhood days I learned all the rules of the modern-day drifter Don't you hold onto nothin' too long Just take what you need from the ladies Then leave them the words of a sad country song
My heroes have always been cowboys And they still are, it seems Sadly in search of, but one step in back of Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery From bein' alone too long You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare Knowin' well your best days are gone Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen I let the words of my years fade away Old worn-out saddles, old worn-out memories With no one and no place to stay
My Heroes Have Always been Cowboys - Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings
A hero's not afraid to give his life.
ReplyDeleteA hero's gonna save me just in time.
I need a hero to save my life.
I need a hero,
Just in time.
Save me just in time.
Save me just in time.
I need a hero.
Who's gonna fight for what's right,
Who's gonna help us survive.
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for the weak,
Who's gonna make 'em believe.
I need a hero.
I need a hero.
A hero's gonna save me just in time.

ReplyDeleteI need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Artist: Bonnie Tyler
I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy
ReplyDeleteLovin' the cowboy ways
Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes
I burned up my childhood days
I learned all the rules of the modern-day drifter
Don't you hold onto nothin' too long
Just take what you need from the ladies
Then leave them the words of a sad country song
My heroes have always been cowboys
And they still are, it seems
Sadly in search of, but one step in back of
Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery
From bein' alone too long
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
Knowin' well your best days are gone
Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen
I let the words of my years fade away
Old worn-out saddles, old worn-out memories
With no one and no place to stay

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
ReplyDeleteand everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Wind Beneath my Wings
