Lyrics:

[English]

I'm just a step away, I'm just a breath away

Losing my faith today (Falling off the edge today)

I am just a man, not superhuman

(I'm not superhuman)

Someone save me from the hate

It's just another war, just another family torn

(Falling from my faith today)

Just a step from the edge

Just another day in the world we live

I need a hero to save me now

I need a hero! (Save me now)

I need a hero to save my life

A hero will save me! (Just in time)

I've gotta fight today to live another day

Speaking my mind today

(My voice will be heard today)

I've gotta make a stand but I am just a man

(I'm not superhuman)

My voice will be heard today!

It's just another war, just another family torn

(My voice will be heard today)

It's just another kill

The countdown begins to destroy ourselves

I need a hero to save me now

I need a hero! (Save me now)

I need a hero to save my life

A hero will save me (Just in time)

I need a hero to save my life

I need a hero just in time

Save me just in time

Save me just in time

Who's gonna fight for what's right?

Who's gonna help us survive?

We're in the fight of our lives

(And we're not ready to die)

Who's gonna fight for the weak?

Who's gonna make 'em believe?

I've got a hero (I've got a hero)

Living in me

I'm gonna fight for what's right

Today I'm speaking my mind

And if it kills me tonight, I will be ready to die

A hero's not afraid to give his life

A hero's gonna save me just in time

I need a hero to save me now

I need a hero! (Save me now)

I need a hero to save my life

A hero will save me (Just in time)

I need a hero

Who's gonna fight for what's right?

Who's gonna help us survive?

I need a hero

Who's gonna fight for the weak?

Who's gonna make 'em believe?

I need a hero

I need a hero

A hero's gonna save me just in time
