hero - verbalicious lyrics

[verse 1]
you asked have i ever seen a broken man?
a man with a cast or a man with his head in his hands
and nothing left to hold onto but the past
pain which stains his cheek
pretend it’s rain
so we pass him guilt*free
while they count his change
it gets harder in his carrier bags
how many days can a man survive without food, just prayer
he answered sadly through his stare
i take you there, but i think you’re scared
you can’t prepare for the weight of this man’s sorrow
maybe tomorrow you’ll be ready
but you might not even be there
to borrow a blessing or whatever you kindly spare
punched and humbled he stumbles down one of live streets
that laughs as he fumbles through trash
scared the ass of me
mumbles, you shattered his hope like broke glass
what he’s thinking?
sorry i asked

[chorus]
tell me where the heroes hide, heroes hide
i feel like giving up
see the world through a thousand eyes, thousand lives
can’t do this alone
tell me where the heroes hide, heroes hide
i feel like giving up
see the world through a thousand eyes, thousand lives
can’t do this alone

[verse 2]
you asked have i’ve spoken to a broken man?
do i have the compassion just to touch his hand?
could i cut it in the gutter?
while he tells me plans he had at my age
ambition brutally sn*tched with opportunities
you probably think me mad
probably thinkin’ it was drugs he had stashed in the bag
probably call the cops, tell ’em that i’m being harassed
but this man has education and life i’ll never had
crack shoes with holes in the toes
i told stories of a man with power
now they’re missing the soul
his own tee, the sheets and his pocket like gold
and do i have the heart to tell him that they can’t be sold?
weathered lines like dried earth when he smiles
[?] miser [?] miles
’cause miles is what he sees from the heap where he’s at
but the heap is miles away from the track

[verse 3]
could you break bread with a broken man?
whose hands quiver like you’re givin’ him a second chance
ah, yes
could you respect a nameless man?
who shame scars and mocks him
like dirt in his hands
ah, yes
did he fail in life or life fail him?
could he ever forgive a world that just gives in
nah, he rips in, never letting sadness win
’cause his wisdom shines through the mists of sins
if i could trade places for just one day
a pray would not be brave enough to bear the hate
could i take the fact that life won’t change
’cause i’m equal but they do me in a different way
got no place, streets are home
life’s a free ride
the ride he’s too broke to get on
this man could be gone, lowkey playing this song
but do nothing when the next guy staggers along
[chorus]
tell me where the heroes hide, heroes hide
i feel like giving up
see the world through a thousand eyes, thousand lives
can’t do this alone

tell me where the heroes hide, heroes hide
i feel like giving up
see the world through a thousand eyes, thousand lives
can’t do this alone

[chorus]
tell me where the heroes hide, heroes hide
i feel like giving up
see the world through a thousand eyes, thousand lives
can’t do this alone

tell me where the heroes hide, heroes hide
i feel like giving up
see the world through a thousand eyes, thousand lives
can’t do this alone
