For every toy soldier I put to war when I was just a boy   I had no idea where I was going, I was built for more   I saw a man on TV, he had lost:   Some limbs, his younger brother, and his heart      'Cause we need a leader   Someone to be a hero      I'm tired of fakers, actors, and bankers   They're everywhere I go   They're drawing our lifelines, making decisions   But never have to know   And everyone's got reasons why they're wrong   In the end we'll end up fine and for their cause      'Cause we need a leader   Someone to be a hero      And we fight the fire   With a bigger, brighter lighter   All that we need is everyone we know   Everyone we know      How did we get so far?   And how did we get so lost?   How did we get so far?   And how're we getting back home?   How did we get so far?   And how did we get so lost?   How did we get so far?   And how're we getting back home?   How did we get so far?   And how did we get so lost?   How did we get so far?   And how do we get back home?   Back home, back home...      'Cause we need a leader   Someone to be a hero      And we fight the fire   With a bigger, brighter lighter   All that we need is everyone we know   Is everyone we know      'Cause we need a leader   Someone to be a hero...
