In this song, John Cooper talks about how he and this world needs a hero (or a savior) and without one we will “destroy ourselves.”
Since Skillet is considered a Christian Rock band, his savior could be interpreted to be Jesus Christ. However, since there is no direct reference to His name, the tit...
Hero Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I'm just a step away, I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
We're fallin' off the edge today!
I am just a man, not superhuman!
I'm not superhuman!
Someone save me from the hate
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
It's just another war
Just another family torn
We're falling from my faith today!
Just a step on the edge
Just another day in the world we live
[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger & Both]
I need a hero to save me now!
I need a hero!
To save me now!
I need a hero to save my life!
A hero will save me
Just in time!
[Verse 2: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I've gotta fight today to live another day
Speakin' my mind today
My voice will be heard today!
I've gotta make a stand, but I am just a man
I'm not superhuman!
My voice will be heard today
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today!
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger & Both]
I need a hero to save me now!
I need a hero!
To save me now!
I need a hero to save my life!
A hero will save me
Just in time!
[Bridge: John Cooper]
I need a hero to save my life!
I need a hero just in time!
Save me just in time!
Save me just in time!
[Refrain: John Cooper, Jen Ledger & Both]
Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die!
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero
I've got a hero!
Livin' in me!
I've gotta fight for what's right, today I'm speakin' my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die!
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time!
[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger & Both]
I need a hero to save me now!
I need a hero!
To save me now!
I need a hero to save my life!
A hero will save me
Just in time!
I need a hero!
[Outro: John Cooper, Jen Ledger & Both]
Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
(I need a hero!)
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero
I need a hero!
A hero's gonna save me just in time!
