Don't think a singer is some kind of hero With something heroic to say It's much more than likely he's just telling stories And happened to your way
He wishes he could take the credit But it's easier delivered than done Admiring a deed from a distance is one thing doing ‘em’s a whole ‘nother one
I was a shy boy, I got no permission To ever out of that line I just wanted someone to come up and tell me “Everything's gonna be fine...”
But you don't always hear what you want to from others I it doesn't happen for me If I had a dollar for every rejection A wealthier man I would be
CHORUS Take comfort to know fellow stumblers abound Who will take up your cause if they can But the strength that you find in yourself is the key And your in the part of the plan
have discovered that worrying works I'll tell you why I'm fairly sure Most of the things that I worry about Never even come close to occur
And when forget why I'm filling these pages And I'm struggling to pick up my pen Then I'll remember the look on your face And I'll start in all over again
CHORUS
Don't think a singer is some kind of hero With something heroic to say For true acts of courage are played out everyone Living on Earth every day
So gather your things and you bundle on up It get awfully chilly out there When you find something that you can hold on to Be sure that you handle it with care
Don't ever get jealous if you should see someone Who's doing what they love to do If you're paying attention to what your heart you You're probably doing it too
