When you're lost and lonely and There doesn't seem to be a plan To get yourself back up again You've tried everything you say Laid awake at night and prayed For the light to shine on you again When you can't afford a hero You can try your luck with me When you can't afford a hero Just close your eyes and let it be Cause the hero The hero could be me See the track you'll find a train Every window has a pane Every heart can still remain complete And every dog will have his day It doesn't matter anyway When you feel there's nothing left to see When you can't afford a hero You can try your luck with me When you can't afford a hero Close your eyes and you will see Yeah the hero The hero could be me Sailed off to find a world Now there's no more lonely girl She even had a kid or two And every day's a sunny day It could have been another way If she hadn't listened to this fool When you can't afford a hero You can try your luck with me When you can't afford a hero You can try your luck with me When you can't afford a hero We can make it you and me Because the hero The hero is me
