Hero

You don’t have to wear a cape

You don’t have to wear a cape

That backpack, that roar, that voice!

You don’t have to wear a cape

 

You are heroes of the new age!

As I chalk this down, my eyes well up,

I see blood, but the fiends are still thirsty

You face the dirt, but it is their hands that are dirty!

 

You are paving newer ways

You are heroes, you don’t have to wear a cape

You are paving newer ways

 

The costs are high,

My head hangs in shame as you’re not meant to die!

You must live because you are the leaders of tomorrow!

 

They want to mute it all;

But can they stop your valiant roars that echo??!

 

They charged

You marched!

 

My head hangs in shame,

I couldn’t protect you,

You weren’t meant to die;

But you’re still not afraid to fly!

 

I salute you oh Heroes –

You give us hope, you are our FREEDOM of today!

You are heroes who are paving newer ways!
