Hero, The

Don't you like to see the hero

take his licks like a man

Stand up and be tested and be true

Would you like to be a hero in your life

Well, you can

Did you know it's up to you

Would you trade your place with Jesus on the cross

If you could, shining through eternity

Would it bother to know that you can be

Just as good as you really want to be

And if you're bound to do your duty

Then it's time that you do

Look your future in the face

For the most important person in the world

Which is you

Or the whole damn human race

****Chorus

There's a holy band of angels

Flying high through the night

Where no mortal ever trod

Singing holy, holy, holy, holy

Oh, Jesus Christ

Is the Lord Almighty God

(Spoken)

You see the good thing is

You don't have to be as good as Jesus

To start out with

All you got to do is ask yourself

How would Gary Cooper have done it

Or John Kennedy, or Martin Luther King,

Or Malcolm X

***Repeat Chorus

Kris Kristofferson
