Everybody Loves a Hero by Tim Moore Lyrics

I am the father of myself
And on my island virtue dwells
I've a god for my ideals
He feels the way I feel
He is real, a golden shield

Everybody loves a hero, loves a hero
A god among men
Everybody loves a hero, wants a hero
Even more than a friend
And in his shine I know that I'm immortalized
Everybody knows a hero makes it all right

You call my passion second hand
But he's a great and lasting man
Look, his face upon the screen
He knows what glory means
He's serene, he's got a dream

Everybody loves a hero, loves a hero
A god among men
Everybody loves a hero, wants a hero
Even more than a friend
So what if I kill, so what if I lie
So what if I die
Everybody knows a hero makes it all right
Now I feel I've been reborn
Made brave to face the storm
And I'm not torn anymore

Everybody loves a hero, loves a hero
A god among men
Everybody loves a hero, wants a hero
Even more than a friend
Too late my friend to waste our lives
I see what's right

Everybody loves a hero
Everybody trusts a hero
Everybody knows a hero makes it all right
