If you don't first say goodbye If you don't look look up in the sky If you don't know where the dark ends And you can't change the heroes and friends
If you don't first carry a flame You can't take the weight Of a single ounce of shame You can't change the signal Just the message that it sends The message of the heroes and friends
It can take the place of love You can disappear in either When push has come to shove You can walk the night into the dawn Looking for the heroes and friends
You can ride the back roads Of the hometowns of the world You can collide on sidewalks And believe the words again Looking for the heroes and friends
You can dedicate your life To breaking down the walls And screaming down the halls You can stand in judgement of the meaning in the end That we are all just Heroes and friends
Why do we sacrifice our life To what is left when it all ends When all we want is Heroes and friends More from Melissa Etheridge
