It takes a hero to drive by
The place your addiction fed
Your body high and soul died
It takes a hero to drop the knife
That cut so deep that made you bleed
To match the hurt inside, you felt
For cuts and burns was how you dealt
It takes a hero to tip the bottle neck over
To pour spirits down the drain that made you act insane, yet it drown the pain
It takes a hero to swallow low
The curses spoken over you
That drew oppressive hues in your skies of blue
I see you
It takes a hero to rise above
To prove there's love
In a world free flowing with hate
It takes a hero not to take the bate
Of temptation reels on boats afloat by sin
It takes a hero not to let the fisher win
That hero is you
That hero is me
Fish that swim in open seas
Fighting the odds
Finally free
