the silent hero
< 2003-11-12 - 10:46 p.m. >

Wake up to the sound of his alarm

Have to save the world today, not for me and not for them, but for someone who won't acknowledge it


Have to stop the rotteness and evil, Have to make the world safe and moral before she steps into it


So around the world he will fly

Fixing the wrongs and never asking why

It's something he was born to do

Without any acknowledgment from you

You've spoken face to face and one the phone

But to you, his secret identity will never be known

Notice there's no "can you help me please"

He's already there, when you're down on your knees

He's no Dustin Hoffman

No Robert DiNero

He'll remain as the silent hero


Time to save the world again, not just anyones but yours, up 40minutes before you are, so he can marvel at your beauty while you sleep and to move everything thats in your way


Where is he during the rest of your day?

Out the window, across the street, pushing in chairs and opening doors?


So where does this hero's love lie

Doing things for you and not asking why

It's something he was born to do

Without any acknowledgment from you

He's there with you wherever you roam

Walk in the door, he's waiting at home

You are breaking down this (strong) heart of he's

But he doesn't care, it's not something he sees

He's no rocket man, Not someone everyone wants to know

But will remain the silent hero


A chance for him to leave

Or would he just let you bleed

Question: would he mind?

'That he's left behind

Would you cope without the sound

Of him not fussing and rushiing around


He'll never leave, Have to stop the rotteness and evil, Have to play it right, Have to shift the blame, Have to makethe world safe and moral before she steps into it


So what is it now you want to try

Different scenes but still no question of why

It's something he was born to do

Without any acknowledgment from you

Even when you talk to him in that tone

He'll brave it, just to make sure you're never alone

Some may say it's like a disease

Follow you through the seven sea's......


The silent hero is how he'll remain

A great way to hide his nervousness and pain


So i'll never ever let you go

Cause i like playing the silent hero
