The Hero Lyrics by Gatton

2022

[Verse 1]
Little did he know
He cannot save the day
And little did he know
He cannot take the pain away

[Pre-Chorus]
He was struck by the curse of empathy
Caught in the storm of those hurting

[Chorus]
His spirit longs to be free
But he let them clip his wings
His mind craves lucidity
But he's bound by apathy

[Verse 2]
Now little did he know
That what you feed will grow (Grow)
And little did he grow
When he fed his sorrow (Oh), oh

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause he was planting seeds and reaping what he sows (What he sows)
And so it goes (So it goes)
His growing woes would show he ain't the hero

[Chorus]
His spirit longs to be free
But he lеt them clip his wings
His mind craves lucidity
But he's bound by apathy

[Outro]
His spirit longs to bе free (The hero cannot find his wings)
But he let them clip his wings (The hero cannot find his wings)
His mind craves lucidity (The hero cannot find his wings)
But he's bound by apathy (The hero cannot find his wings)
His spirit longs to be free (The hero cannot find his wings)
But he let them clip his wings (The hero cannot find his wings)
His mind craves lucidity (The hero cannot find his wings)
But he's bound by apathy
