Somebody's Hero
by
Kelly M. Kirkpatrick

The modern cavaliers
Are business-men they say,
No wonder no one ever dances.
They've sold their souls for love
And watched it slip away.
Have they forgotten what romance is?

They know no lonely nights
And live by city lights
And earn the name
Of nobody's hero.

I've seen them talk to you
And drive you home by night.
I've seen your eyes, but gave no warning.
I've seen you let them in
And feed the heartless beast.
I've dried your tears in the morning.

They know no lonely nights
And live by city lights
And earn the name
Of nobody's hero.

I want to walk with you
Through summer nights
And cold December days.
I want to be with you
When things go wrong
And others, they turn away.
I want to be the one
To share your dreams
And wake them to the day.
I want to speak to you
With all my words
And every song I play.

So now you turn my way
To rest you weary eyes.
Now you are looking for the answers.
You've played the games by day
And known the heartless nights.
You're just a sad and tired dancer.

You'll know no lonely nights
And live by heaven's light
And earn the name
Of somebody's hero,
To be somebody's hero,
To be somebody's hero.
