Hero

Dirk Diamond & Nadine de Macedo - Hero

“Hero” is a song about the wish to be somebody meaningful and special for somebody else. This song is part of my album “Quarterlife Blues”.

I wanna be some kind of hero
But no I ain’t gonna save the world
Just be a little jump up from zero
So long as I don’t do my worst

Maybe be my best self
Whatever that could be
Least just be a little more help
With just a little less greed,
Might be some way I could be

I wouldn’t mind if it’s just for a single life
I might just run into the road
Even get crushed like little toads
If I could be your hero

I really don’t mind if it means I die
But I will let my soul burst out
And I’d be your hero if I’m allowed

I wanna be somebody’s hero
At least not bring anyone to harm
And be remembered for a spell
For all my wild shots in the dark

Maybe be my best self
Whatever that could be
Even if I need a bit of your help
And the strength of your belief
It might be some way I could be

I wouldn’t mind if I commit self-sacrifice
I’d even run into the road
To push you free from broken bones
If I could be your hero

I really don’t mind if it means I die
But I will let my soul bleed out
Just to be your hero if I’m allowed

In my little corner of the world
That little segment might make a difference
In that little dot among the stars
That little dust speck might lend some balance

Might be a little hero
with a careless thread to sow
A little compost for a world
I’d never come to know

I wouldn’t mind if it’s just for a single life
I might just run into the road
Even get crushed like little toads
If I could be your hero

I really don’t mind if it means I die
But I will let my soul burst out
And I’d be your hero if I’m allowed
