Lyrics Jars of Clay

Jars of Clay

Hero

One spot on an empty canvas

One chair in an empty room

No place for a revolution

No hope if the signs are true

We stand at the edge of something

Will we ever know what it is

Hold on 'cause the wind is rising

And we can't get away from it

We're in shock from the failed emotion

No cause in a shadow land

We sing while the city's burning

No room, no escape, no plan

We all never thought it would end this way

And we need a hero

To save us from ourselves

We need a hero

To save us from ourselves

Save us from ourselves

Save us from our fear

When the sirens wail, we need a hero here

We hide on our knees in silence

Maybe God doesn't hear at all

And the wait overtakes the violence

And we watch as the giants fall

We're not gonna let it end this way
