Heroes don't think that their heroes

And get all swelled up in their chests

They're just quietly workin'

They don't give up tryin'

They're happy just to give it their best

They don't think that they're anything special

They don't think that they're better than you

They're proud to give the glory

To all of the people

That helped them to do what they do



Heroes don't think that they're heroes

Just lucky

In the right place

When the numbers were called

Funny, how people who walk so tall

Don't think that they're heroes at all



Heroes amaze all the people

Doing things that nobody can do

But time is a bandit that steals away glory

And people find somebody new

But that shouldn't bother somebody

Whose stuff is all totatlly right

It's the job that you've done

Not the glory you've won

That let's you sleep soundly at night



Heroes don't think that they're heroes

Just lucky

In the right place

When the numbers were called

Funny, how people who walk so tall

Don't think that they're heroes at all
