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 tumble your way
He he take the credit But it's easier delivered than done Admiring a deed from a distance is one thing But doing ‘em’s a whole ‘nother one
I was a shy boy, I got no permission To ever step out of that line I just wanted someone to come up and tell me “Everything's gonna be fine...”
But don't always hear what you want to from others I know it doesn't happen for me 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 piece in the part of the plan
I have discovered that worrying works I'll tell you I'm fairly sure Most of the things that I worry about Never even come close to occur
And when I forget why 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 For true acts of courage are played out by everyone Living on Earth every day
So gather your things and you bundle on up It can 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 attention to what your heart tells you You're probably doing it too
