• Not a sound
    Emits from the room
    But a noise will be made
    Sometime soon

    That's when the police strike
    Never even blinks when they take your life

    Wasn't always like this
    Didn't have to hide
    We could smile and wave
    Strut down the street with pride

    But the streets are stained
    And the poor hearts cold
    Courage has fled the scene
    The people growing old

    All we need is a

    Hero!
    Someone not afraid to stand
    Up!
    Someone who has had
    Enough of the games and the lies
    And hiding in a disguise
    Time to get up!

    At home secretly
    The policemen cry
    And look at their families
    And wonder why
    They don't deserve to die
    Yet the people in the streets
    With no place to go
    Are dead and broken
    Because police burned their homes
    And left their hearts cold

    We just need a

    Hero!
    Someone not afraid to stand
    Up!
    Someone who has had
    Enough of the games and the lies
    And hiding in a disguise
    Time to get up!

    Things won't change if you stand by a watch
    For freedom there is a cost
    And it's time to pay up
    I know our savior will come someday
    When he does all the pain will go away
    We just need someone to say

    Please dear God, we need a

    Hero!
    Someone who won't back down
    When they beat him back
    And force him on the
    Ground
    Someone who can look into their eyes
    And erase the hatred behind the lies
    Someone who's not afraid to take off their disguise
    We need a hero to remove the pain of our lives
