All My Heroes Are Underdogs

[Verse 1]
He gathered five smooth stones
He'd only need one
With no armor on
Went up against that heathen
And he had no right
Getting in that fight
But surprise, surprise
He hit him right between the eyes

[Chorus]
All my favorite stories have moments
When everything seems to be lost
All my heroes are underdogs

[Verse 2]
He gathered twelve unknowns
One of them a traitor
With no armor on
Spoke the truth to power
And they hung Him high
On a hill and watchеd Him die
But the blood they spillеd
Started something that could not be killed

[Chorus]
All my favorite stories have moments
When everything seems to be lost
All my heroes are underdogs

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just trying to believe in a world
Where the wounded can rise when they fall
All my heroes are underdogs

[Verse 3]
I've spent my life believing I was
More like David than Goliath
But looking back
The odds were usually for me
See a struggler fight to live
Never stop to wonder if
I've ever been
The villain in that story

[Verse 4]
They gathered arm in arm
To try to change a country
With no armor on
They headed for Montgomery
And they faced those thugs
Cowards swinging fists and clubs
But they came back strong
Crying out, "How long? Not long
How long? Not long."

[Spoken: Martin Luther King Jr.]
How long? Not long, because mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Hallelujah!

[Pre-Chorus]
All my favorite stories
Make me deal with the ways I've been wrong
All my heroes are underdogs

[Chorus]
All my favorite stories have moments
When everything seems to be lost
All my heroes are underdogs

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just trying to believe in a world
Where the wounded can rise when they fall
All my heroes are underdogs
