Lyrics Melissa Etheridge – Heroes And Friends
Text:
You can’t take a trip
If you don’t first say goodbye
You can’t find a star
If you don’t look up in the sky
If you don’t know where the dark ends
And you can’t change the heroes and friends
You can’t light a spark
If you don’t first carry a flame
You can’t take the weight
Of a single ounce of shame
You can’t change the signal
Just the message that it sends
The message of the heroes and friends
You can’t touch the screen
You can take the place of love
You can disappear in ether
When pushes come to shove
And you can walk the night
Into the dawn
And back again
Looking for the heroes and friends
You can ride the back roads
Of the hometowns of the world
You can collide on sidewalks
In a neon light of blur
You can rush the stages
And believe the words again
Looking for the heroes and friends
You can dedicate your life
To ringing the alarm
Screaming down the halls
You can stand in judgment
Of the meaning in the air
Then we are all just heroes and friends
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
Looking for the heroes and friends
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Why do we sacrifice our lives?
To what is left when it all ends
When all we want is heroes and friends
