Don't think a singer is some kind of hero With heroic to say It's much more than likely he's just telling stories And happened to tumble your way
He wishes he could take the credit But it's easier delivered than done Admiring a deed from distance is one thing But doing ‘em’s a whole ‘nother one
I was a shy boy, 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 you don't always hear what you want to from others know it doesn't happen for me If I had a dollar for every rejection A wealthier man I would be
CHORUS Take comfort to 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 piece in the part of the plan
I have discovered that worrying works I'll tell you why I'm fairly sure Most of the things that I about Never even come close to occur
And when I forget why I'm filling 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 something heroic to say 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 get awfully chilly out 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 to do If you're paying attention to what your heart tells you You're probably doing it too
