lived as long as he possibly can given the circumstance
 'cause he's protected himself from the world he never gave it a chance
 
 and he says:here in my security
 I've put a limit on my self-potential and my possibility
 
 She's seen these walls and they never change everything's in its place
 her relationships so neatly arranged down to religion and race
 
 and she says: here in my security
 I don't make a move unless my friends approve I do what's expected of me
 
 And as I grow older and there's so much that I do not know
 I'm drawn to those who are bolder and go where no one dares to go
 
 (chorus)
 And I [G]sleep and I [Am]dream of the person I [Em]might have been
 then I'll be [D]free again
 And I [G]speak like some[Am]one who's been to the [Em]highest peaks and [D]back again
 And I [G]swear that [Am]my grass is greener than [Em]anyone's 'til I [D]believe again
 Then I [G]wake and the [Am]dream fades away and I [Em]face the day and I [D]realize
 that there's [C]got to be some [D]hero in [G]me[Am]
 That there's [C]got to be some [D]hero in [G]me[Am]
 That there's [C]got to be some [D]hero in [G]me[Am]
 There's [Em]got to be some [D]hero in [C]me[D]
 
 They've been suppressing their every desire they do nothing on a whim
 she's lost her sparkle and he's lost the fire
 their future looks very dim
 
 And I say: here in my security
 I've simply let myself go I've developed a co-dependency
 
 (bridge)
 And as I grow older so many places that I've never been
 time['s tapping my shoulder I hope it's never too late to begin
 
 (Repeat chorus, en
