What can I learn from you

In your lifetime, in what you've been through

How'd you keep your head up and hold your pride

In an insane world how'd you keep on tryin'

One life can tell the tale

That if you make the effort, you can not fail

By your life you tell me it can be done

By your life's the courage to carry on



(chorus:)

Heroes

Appear like a friend

To clear a path or light the flame

As time goes by you find you depend

On your heroes to show you the way



What can I learn from you

That I must do the thing I think I can not do

That you do what's right by your heart and soul

It's the imperfections that make us whole

One life can tell the tale

And if you make the effort you can not fail

By your life you tell me it can be done

By your life's the courage to carry on
