Don't Wait For Heroes

I've got my dreams

I know you think that's crazy

But I won't give up

'Cause I've got this burning desire in me

Oh baby, it's me

 

While the whole world sleeps

I sit up all night thinking

And making my plans

'Cause there's something special ahead for me

Something ahead for me

 

So don't you tell me that I'm wasting my time, ruining my life

And that the odds against me are a million-to-one, don't be concerned

I'll take the heat for all the chances I'm gonna take

Mistakes that I'll make

Wait and see

You're gonna hear from me

 

So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself

You've got the power

Winners are losers

Who got up and gave it just one more try

 

If you're waiting for that miracle train to call out your name

And if you think the rainboq always finds someone else, never yourself

Just look inside and find that spark that's burning in you

Follow it through

The light you find

Well, it could change your life

 

So don't wait for heroes

Think for yourself

Make your own choices

You know it's easy

To follow the crowd

But my advice is

Don't wait for heroes

Believe in yourself

You've got the power

Winners are losers

Who got up and gave it just one more try

 

Get up! Get up! Get up!

Give it just one more try
