Skillet - Hero [HQ]

Artist: Skillet
Title: Hero
Album: Awake

Songtext:

I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losing my faith today
Falling off the edge today

I am just a man
Not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate

It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time

I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speaking my mind today
My voice will be heard today

I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today

It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time

I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero, just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time

Who's gonna fight for what's right?
Who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die

Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero, I've got a hero
Living in me

I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die

A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time

(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for what's right?
Who's gonna help us survive?

(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero

I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time

The Good Old days playing Smackdown vs Raw 2010 on the PS2. Not a care in the world. Miss those days.

"I'm not superhuman" is ironically one of the most powerful statements I've heard in music

[Paziify]

*Who cares what year you're listening to this in, this song is still fire 🔥❤*

Also, I remember listening to this song when I was 6-7 years old.

[benjones]

When you realize lyrics don't have to be DESTRUCTIVE to sound amazing!!!

[eliacinquincy]

2022 anyone? Still a great masterpiece!

[huntermyers]

This song will make me want to become the ultimate hero and stand up for what's right

[Snowfire]

When you realize Skillet is a Christian rock band... *mind blown*

They are so fantastic live!!! I seen them in concert at Winter Jam, in Des Moines, IA. They sound exactly live, like they do in recording. They put on such an amazing show too! NOTHING compared to the 2012 line up. Fantastic energy. Churches' youth Groups from ALL over the country came, it was such an amazing experience.

Doing homework seems more epic if this song is playing

[nicoleeolee]

I can't believe it's been 12 years since I saw them live! 😲

[yunariumlovania]

I’m no Christian but I will say I love this band specially this song 😎👌

[lukemccullough]

October 2022, listened to this song on the way to work early in the morning, sunrise was so beautiful. The feeling and image of Jesus entered my consciousness as I was driving and I was overcome with the feeling of god and I wept. Nothing like this had ever happened to me before outside of psychedelic experiences. I came home after work that day to ambulances and police lining my street. My uncle who was my neighbor and close friend had committed suicide.

[Wolverino]

epic song, listen to this when working out :)

[jakewilson]

Who cares about following rules when you need to hear Skillet!!! I love this song by skillet!!! Between rules at work and home and skillet, I chose Skillet Christian rock band over rules. By the way who's listening to this in 2020!!!

[Shastaphirre]

This and Awake and Alive are my favorite songs!
