Heroes and Friends

You can't take a trip

If you don't first say goodbye

You can't find a star

If you don't look up in the sky

You can't find a light

If you don't know where the dark ends

And you can't change the heroes and friends

You can't light a spark

If you don't first carry a flame

You can't take the weight

Of a single ounce of shame

You can't change the signal

Just the message that it sends

The message of the heroes and friends

You can't touch the screen

You can take the place of love

You can disappear in ether

When pushes come to shove

And you can walk the night

Into the dawn

And back again

Looking for the heroes and friends

You can ride the back roads

Of the hometowns of the world

You can collide on sidewalks

In a neon light of blur

You can rush the stages

And believe the words again

Looking for the heroes and friends

You can dedicate your life

To breaking down the walls

To ringing the alarm

Screaming down the halls

You can stand in judgment

Of the meaning in the air

Then we are all just heroes and friends

Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho

Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho

Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho

Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho

Looking for the heroes and friends

Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho

Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Why do we sacrifice our lives?

To what is left when it all ends

When all we want is heroes and friends
