I Believe In Heroes

Author: Genie

Theme:

Tribulation's dawning
Children cry for champions to believe in
Fallen lie our heroes
So God sends you to stand here strong to lead us

On our streets
On our oceans
You're unselfishly devoted
Honor shines
Like diamonds in your eyes

CHORUS: I BELIEVE IN HEROES
'CAUSE I BELIEVE IN YOU

VERSE2: "Greater Love has no man
Than to lay his life down for his friend"
You take your ‘cross’ daily
For loved-ones you have never even met

In our skies
Through our fire
Watching arms of flame reach higher
You fight Hell
With Heaven gleaming in your eye

CHORUS: I BELIEVE IN HEROES
MY CHILDHOOD IDOLS ARE ALL GONE
YET I BELIEVE IN HEROES
WHEN I SEE YOUR COURAGE DRIVE YOU ON
YOU RISE BEFORE THE DAWN
YOU STARE DEATH STRAIGHT IN THE FACE
YOU SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE
IN MY PLACE
IT'S TIME YOU KNEW
I BELIEVE IN HEROES
'CAUSE I BELIEVE IN YOU

BRIDGE: For all our dying hearts
You bring back to life
For every frightened child
You save from the fire-fight
For all our sailors you lift skyward from our sinking ships
Because you are there
Because you care

CHORUS: WE BELIEVE IN HEROES
OUR CHILDHOOD IDOLS ARE ALL GONE
YET WE BELIEVE IN HEROES
WHEN WE SEE YOUR COURAGE DRIVE YOU ON
YOU RISE BEFORE THE DAWN
YOU STARE DEATH STRAIGHT IN THE FACE
YOU SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE
IN OUR PLACE
IT'S TIME YOU KNEW
WE BELIEVE IN HEROES
'CAUSE WE BELIEVE IN YOU

I BELIEVE IN HEROES
'CAUSE I BELIEVE IN YOU

SPANISH:

Ya Tribulación llega
Niños lloren "Campeones, ven, salvarnos"
Caidos son los heroes
Dios te mandaras acá para guiarnos

En las calles
y los oceanos
estas devoteados
la honra brilla
como diamantes de tus ojos

CHORUS: YO CREO EN HEROES
PRO QUE CREO EN TI

VERSO2: "Mejor amor tiene nadie
Que perdir su vida para su amigo"
Tomas tu cruz cada día
Para amados que nunca te has visto (conociaba)

En nos' cielos
y en nos' fuegos
Ves los brazos del infiernos
Peleas con demonios
Con luz celestial en tus ojos

CHORUS: YO CREO EN HEROES
MIS IDOLOS de NIÑEZ YA SON MUERTOS
PERO CREO EN HEROES
CUANDO VEO SU IMPULSIÓN DEL VALOR
SIEMPRE MADRUGAS
POR LA CARA DE LA MUERTE
A SACRIFICAR TU VIDA
EN LUGAR DE MI
YA SABES SI
YO CREO EN HEROES
POR QUE CREO EN TI

BRIDGE: Por los corazones
Tu sacas del muerto
Por los niños asustados
Que salvaras del guerra
Por lo marineros que levantas del su barco destruido
Por que estas (aca)
Para tu amor

CHORUS: CREAMOS EN HEROES
MIS IDOLOS de NIÑEZ YA SON MUERTOS
PERO CREAMOS EN HEROES
CUANDO VEO SU IMPULSIÓN DEL VALOR
SIEMPRE MADRUGAS
POR LA CARA DE LA MUERTE
A SACRIFICAR TU VIDA
EN LUGAR DE MI
YA SABES SI
CREAMOS EN HEROES
CREAMOS EN TI

YO CREO EN HEROES
POR QUE CREO EN TI
