Can’t Afford a Hero Lyrics by Night Ranger

ATBPO

0

When you're lost and lonely and
There doesn't seem to be a plan
To get yourself back up again
You've tried everything you say
Laid awake at night and prayed
For the light to shine on you again
When you can't afford a hero
You can try your luck with me
When you can't afford a hero
Just close your eyes and let it be
Cause the hero
The hero could be me
See the track you'll find a train
Every window has a pane
Every heart can still remain complete
And every dog will have his day
It doesn't matter anyway
When you feel there's nothing left to see
When you can't afford a hero
You can try your luck with me
When you can't afford a hero
Close your eyes and you will see
Yeah the hero
The hero could be me
Sailed off to find a world
Now there's no more lonely girl
She even had a kid or two
And every day's a sunny day
It could have been another way
If she hadn't listened to this fool
When you can't afford a hero
You can try your luck with me
When you can't afford a hero
You can try your luck with me
When you can't afford a hero
We can make it you and me
Because the hero
The hero is me
