Feeling myself getting higher
Every thought of you
Rekindles an inner fire
In a world full of sin
Heroine, you’re a bright
Shining beacon of love
For a world hanging on a wire

Heroine, standing tall
The days aren’t always
Bright but you always are
Even when you don’t know it
You live life as only
You can and make best of it
Get high on it, don’t let it
Bring you down

Overworked, tired, unknown
If you can take tomorrow
I’ve been all these things
Bogged down by the sorrow
Of memories, past wasted days
Your smile’s a hopeful example
For all of us to follow

Heroine, standing tall
The days aren’t always
Bright but you always are
Even when you don’t know it
You live life as only
You can and make best of it
Get high on it don’t let it
Bring you down

It’s brought me down
Trying to pick me back up
My heroine
Just a thought of you
Picks me back up

Heroine, standing tall
The days aren’t always
Bright but you always are
Even when you don’t know it
You live life as only
You can and make best of it
Get high on it don’t let it
Bring you down
