Heroes

Heroes
Verse:
It’s the same thing every morning
He throws his backpack over his shoulder
Tells his parents goodbye
I’ll see you later, in a while, in a while

Get’s to school, says hi to his friends
The school bell rings and he runs to class
Opens his book, excited about new things
In one second, shots ring out, shots ring out

One split decision and every dream he has is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

Chorus:
This is not how heroes should be made
We could have made the right choices
We could have lifted our voices
Allowed a child to see another day
This is not this is not how heroes should be made
This is not, this not how heroes should be made
This is not

Verse:
He wanted to be just like his father
Ready to lend a helping hand
To every child, woman, and man
But his life was cut short, so short, so short

Children are crying, parents are screaming
He gave his life so that others may live
In a blink of an eye he becomes the hero
And just for one moment the world is filled with sorrow
Now, we go back as if nothing happened at all, as if nothing happened at all, as if nothing happened at all

Chorus:
This is not how heroes should be made
We could have made the right choices
We could have lifted our voices
Allowed a child to see another day
This is not, this is not how heroes should be made
This is not, this not how heroes should be made
This is not

Bridge:
Nothing’s changed, nothing’s changed
Another senseless goodbye
The question is always why, why, why, why
He’s finally laid to rest with all the rest
Remembered as the one who gave his best, his best, his best, his best

Chorus:
This is not how heroes should be made
We could have made the right choices
We could have lifted our voices
Allowed a child to see another day
This is not, this is not how heroes should be made
This is not, this not how heroes should be made
This is not
