There's A Hero In Every Heart [Glen Burtnik]

There's A Hero In Every Heart
Written by Glen Burtnik and Dan Conley

On the street down below
We see life as a show
Where everyone's playing a part.
But behind each disguise
Somewhere deep in the eyes,
There's a hero in every heart.

Though the hero might hide
In a prison of pride,
Or be lost all alone in the dark.
If you just look within
Right there under the skin
Is a hero in every heart.

As you enter the stage
For your coming of age,
You may wonder what part you should play:
A prince or a clown,
A queen in a gown,
Or a villain who spoils every day.

There will be enough time
To rehearse every line
Time to practice and polish your art.
But when it comes time to act,
Though the odds may be stacked,
Play the hero inside of your heart.

Hero, are you ready to go?
Hero, can you come out and play your part in the show?

Now a heart is a home,
It's where feelings are grown
And where all future heroes are born.
And if love is alive,
The hero will thrive
On that stage where we come to perform.

So I hope you'll take care
And be always aware
As you go through life making your mark.
Like a pearl in a shell
Like a wish in a well
There's a her inside of your heart.

Hero, are you ready to go?
Hero, can you come out and play your part in the show?
Hero, are you ready to go?
Hero, can you come out and play your part in the show?

Like a pearl in a shell
Like a wish in a well,
There's a hero in every heart.

Interpretation

Are lives are like parts in a grand play, and each of us has it in us to be the hero of story.
