A Real Hero Lyrics
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Back against the wall and odds
With the strength of a will and a cause
Your pursuits are called outstanding
You're emotionally complex
Against the grain of dystopic claims
On the thoughts
Your actions entertained
And you have proved to be
A real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
A pilot on a cold, cold morn'
One-hundred fifty-five people on board
All safe and all rescued
From the slowly sinking ship
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Back against the wall and odds
With the strength of a will and a cause
Your pursuits are called outstanding
You're emotionally complex
Against the grain of dystopic claims
On the thoughts
Your actions entertained
And you have proved to be
A real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
A pilot on a cold, cold morn'
One-hundred fifty-five people on board
All safe and all rescued
From the slowly sinking ship
Water warmer than his head
So cool in that tight bind
Knew what to do
And you have proved to be
A real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
So cool in that tight bind
Knew what to do
And you have proved to be
A real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
