Jefferey Gaines Hero In Me
He’s lived as long as he possibly can,
Given the circumstance,
Because he’s protected himself from the world,
He never gave it a chance,
And he says,
Here in my security,
I’ve put a limit on my self-potential and my possibility.
She’s seen these walls and they never change,
Everything’s in its place.
Her relationships so neatly arranged,
Down to religion and race,
And she says,
Here in my security,
I don’t make a move unless my friends approve,
I do what’s expected of me.
And as I grow older,
And there’s so much that I do not know,
I’m drawn to those who are older,
And go where no one dared to go.
And I Sleep, and I dream of the person I might have been, and I’ll be free again. And I speak, like someone who’s been to the highest peaks, and back again. And I swear, that my grass is greener than anyone’s, until I believe again, then I wake, and the dream fades away and I face the day and I realize, that there’s got to be some hero in me, there’s got to be some hero in me, there’s got to be some hero in me, there’s got to be some hero in me.
They’ve been suppressing their every desire,
They do nothing on a whim.
She’s lost her sparkle and he’s lost the fire,
Their future looks very dim,
And I say,
Here in my security,
I’ve simply let myself go out, develop a cold dependency.
And as I grow older,
And so many places that I have not been…
Time is tapping my shoulder; I hope it’s never too late to begin.
And I Sleep, and I dream of the person I might have been, and I’ll be free again. And I speak, like someone who’s been to the highest peaks, and back again. And I swear, that my grass is greener than anyone’s, until I believe again, then I wake, and the dream fades away and I face the day and I realize, that there’s got to be some hero in me, there’s got to be some hero in me, there’s got to be some hero in me, there’s got to be some hero in me.
