Hero in Me

He's lived as long as he possibly can
 Given the circumstance
 'Cause he's protected himself from the world
 He never gave it a chance
 And he says, "Here in my security
 I've put a limit on my self-potential and my possibility"
 She's seen these walls and they never change
 Everything's in its place
 Her relationships are neatly arranged
 Down to religion and race
 And she says, "Here in my security
 I don't make a move unless my friends approve
 I do what's expected of me"
 And as I grow older
 And there's so much that I do not know
 I'm drawn to those who are bolder
 And go where no one dare to go
 And I sleep and I dream of the person I might have been
 And I'll be free again
 And I'll speak like someone who's been to the highest peaks
 And back again
 And I swear that my grass is greener than anyone's
 'Til I believe again
 Then I wake and the dream fades away and I face the day
 And then realize that there's got to be some hero in me
 There's got to be some hero in me
 There's got to be some hero in me
 There's got to be some hero in me
 They've been suppressing their every desire
 They do nothing on a whim
 She's lost her sparkle and he's lost the fire
 Their future looks very dim
 And I say, "Here in my security
 I've simply let myself go, I've developed a co-dependency"
 And as I grow older
 So many places that I've never been
 Well, time's tappin' my shoulder
 I hope it's never too late to begin, yeah
 And I sleep and I dream of the person I might have been
 And I'll be free again
 And I'll speak like someone who's been to the highest peaks
 And back again
 And I swear that my grass is greener than anyone's
 'Til I believe again
 Then I wake and the dream fades away and I face my day
 And then realize that there's got to be some hero in me
 There's hero in you and in me
 That sometimes it's so hard to see, yeah
 There's got to be some hero in we
