You can't take a trip
if you don't first say g oodbye
You can't find a s tar
if you don't look up in the sky
You c an't find the light
if y ou don't know where the dark ends
and y ou can't change the Hero es and Friends
You can't light a spark
if you don' t first carry a fl ame
You can't take the weight
of a sin gle ounce of s hame
You can't change the signa l
just the message that it sends
the mes sage of the Heroes and Frie nds
You can touch the sc reen
it can take the place o f love
yo u can disappear i n ether
when push has come t o shove
you can walk the nigh t
into the dawn and back ag ain
lo oking for the Heroes and Friends
You can ride the back r oads
of the hometowns of the world
You can collide on s idewalks
in a neon lighted blur
Yo u can rush the sta ges
and b elieve the words ag ain
loo king for the Heroes and Fri ends
You can dedicate yo ur life
to breaking down the walls
to ringing the alarm
screaming down th e halls
you c an stand the judg ment
of t he meaning in the e nd
that w e are al l just Heroes and Frie nds
Ohh ohh wh aoo oh
Ohh ohh whaoo oh
Ohh ohh w haoo oh
Ohh ohh wha oo oh
O h Yeah
Looking f or the Heroes a nd Fri ends
Ohh oh h whaoo whaaoo
Ohh ohh whaoo wh aaoo
Oh Y eah
Wh y do we sacrifice our lives
To what is left when it all en ds
Wh en all we want is heroes and frien ds
