I'll Be My Own Hero

Liner Notes

This is a song that started off as a wonderful empowering and anthemic lyric by @marthie. All I did was fill in the gaps with the music and arrangement. The lyrics shaped the whole thing :)

Lyrics

I'll Be My Own Hero

V1: I dreamed you left me
But I was wrong: you stayed.
I dreamed you believed in me
But you crucified me, watch me bleed
when all I wanted was for my life to be a song.

PC: I want the World to hear it
I want the World to feel it
When I raise my voice
and align myself
with this whisper deep inside.

Ch: I'll be my own hero
I'm tired of waiting for someone else
to come and save me
I am the only one
The time has come
to stay true to who I am
and for once walk away
and not be so damn alone.

V2. I don’t feel empty
I feel filled and lifted up
It is difficult to love enough
and leave your past behind, everything
the time has come to take care of yourself

PC: I want the World to hear it
I want the World to feel it
When I raise my voice
and align myself
with this whisper deep inside.

Ch: I'll be my own hero
I'm tired of waiting for someone else
to come and save me
I am the only one
The time has come
to stay true to who I am
and for once walk away
and not be so damn alone.

B: When I'm gone you won't even notice
Without hesitation, you'll ignore this
This dream, this woman, this child
begging for a moment of your time.

Chorus (x2)
