You can't take a trip, if you don't first say goodbye   You can't find a star, if you don't look up in the sky   You can't find a light, if you don't know where the dark ends   And you can't change the heroes and friends      You can't light a spark, if you don't first carry a flame   You can't take the weight of a single ounce of shame   You can't change the signal, just the message that it sends   The message of the heroes and friends      You can't touch the screen, you can take the place of love   You can disappear in ether when pushes come to shove   And you can walk the night into the dawn   And back again looking for the heroes and friends      You can ride the back roads of the hometowns of the world   You can collide on sidewalks in a neon light of blur   You can rush the stages and believe the words again   Looking for the heroes and friends      You can dedicate your life to breaking down the walls   To ringing the alarm, screaming down the halls   You can stand in judgment of the meaning in the air   Then we are all just heroes and friends      Oh oh oh oh ho   Oh oh oh oh ho   Oh oh oh oh ho   Oh oh oh oh ho      Oh yeah, yeah, yeah   Oh oh oh oh ho   Looking for the heroes and friends      Oh oh oh oh ho   Oh oh oh oh ho   Oh yeah, yeah, yeah      Why do we sacrifice our lives   To what is left when it all ends?   When all we want is heroes and friends
