He's Lived As Long As He Possibly Can


Given The Circumstance.


Because He's Protected Himself From The World


He Never Gave It A Chance, And He Says





Here In My Security


I've Put A Limit On My Self-potential And My Possibility.





She's Seen These Walls And They Never Change


Everything's In Its Place.


Her Relationships So Neatly Arranged


Down To Religion And Race, And She Says





Here In My Security


I Don't Make A Move Unless My Friends Approve, I Do What's Expected Of Me.





And As I Grow Older, And There's So Much That I Do Not Know…


I'm Drawn To Those Who Are Older, And Go Where No One Dared To Go.





And I Sleep, And I Dream Of The Person I Might Have Been, And I'll Be Free Again


And I Speak, Like Someone Who's Been To The Highest Peaks, And Back Again


And I Swear, That My Grass Is Greener Than Anyone's, Until I Believe Again


Then I Wake, And The Dream Fades Away And I Face The Day And I Realize


That There's Got To Be Some Hero In Me, There's Got To Be Some Hero In Me,


There's Got To Be Some Hero In Me, There's Got To Be Some Hero In Me.





They've Been Suppressing Their Every Desire,


They Do Nothing On A Whim


She's Lost Her Sparkle And He's Lost The Fire


Their Future Looks Very Dim, And I Say





Here In My Security


I've Simply Let Myself Go Out, Develop A Cold Dependency





And As I Grow Older, And So Many Places That I Have Not Been…


Time Is Tapping My Shoulder, I Hope Its Never Too Late To Begin.





And I Sleep, And I Dream Of The Person I Might Have Been, And I'll Be Free Again


And I Speak, Like Someone Who's Been To The Highest Peaks, And Back Again


And I Swear, That My Grass Is Greener Than Anyone's, Until I Believe Again


Then I Wake, And The Dream Fades Away And I Face The Day And I Realize


That There's Got To Be Some Hero In Me, There's Got To Be Some Hero In Me,


There's Got To Be Some Hero In Me, There's Got To Be Some Hero In Me.
