Written in early 2006; live debut already in January 2006 - after one to many sad song we needed an uplifting track. You can easily sing along the first time you hear it. We play it at pretty much every show.
lyrics
Hey, you're the hero
Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days
Sing hey, you're the hero
Won't you bring me the light of the past
I carry on trying to make it through another day
Still going strong with the memories from yesterday
I never thought I'd meet you one day
But now you are here by my side
And hey, you're the hero
Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days
Sing hey, you're the hero
Won't you bring me the light of the past
I carry on trying to make it through another night
Still going strong with the fading stars all shining bright
I never thought I'd meet you again
But now you are here by my side
And hey, you're the hero
Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days
Sing hey, you're the hero
Won't you bring me the light of the past
To hear your voice so clear sends shivers down my spine
I feel like diving into a dream
And all the words you sing sound like shadows lost in time
They seem like a vision of beauty to me
Hey hey hey, you're the hero
Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days
Sing hey, you're the hero
Won't you bring me the light of the past
Hey hey hey, you're the hero
Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days
Sing hey, you're the hero
Won't you bring me the light of the past
Light of the past
