From the recording Alone with My Thoughts
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don’t need a cape, don’t need the crown,
Don’t need the rich man holdin’ you down.
It starts with a voice, it starts with a hand,
One small act can reclaim this land.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every bill, every bruise, every scar you hide,
Every tear, every night, every dream denied.
The weight of the world won’t fade away,
But we rise, we fight, we live the day.
[Chorus]
It’s a hard road, paved in blood and bone,
Every step we take, we take alone.
Sweat in the dust, and tears in the rain,
We carry the weight, we carry the pain.
We’re in search of heroes, not a TV screen,
We’re in search of heroes today.
[Verse 2]
This life we rent, not ours to own,
The seeds we plant, the love we’ve shown.
Justice fades if we close our eyes,
Compassion bleeds when the truth is disguised.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every bill, every bruise, every scar you hide,
Every tear, every night, every dream denied.
The weight of the world won’t fade away,
But we rise, we fight, we live the day.
[Chorus]
It’s a hard road, paved in blood and bone,
Every step we take, we take alone.
Sweat in the dust, and tears in the rain,
We carry the weight, we carry the pain.
We’re in search of heroes, not a TV screen,
We’re in search of heroes today.
[Bridge – Shouted / Spoken Word Over Riff]
Every act a revolution, every choice a flame,
Every voice a weapon to tear down the chains.
Don’t wait for a savior, don’t bow to the throne,
The power’s in your hands, and you’re not alone!
[Chorus – Explosive, Full Band]
It’s a hard road, paved in blood and bone,
Every step we take, we take alone.
Sweat in the dust, and tears in the rain,
We carry the weight, we carry the pain.
We’re in search of heroes, not a TV screen,
We’re in search of heroes today.
[Outro – Haunting, Fading Call-and-Response]
(In search of heroes!) — Bleeding in the rain.
(In search of heroes!) — Carrying the pain.
(In search of heroes!) — Broken but we stay.
(In search of heroes!) — Fighting through the gray.
It’s a hard road… it’s a hard road…
Still in search of heroes today.
