Austin Joyce - Heroes Lyrics

Listen, look at a screen
What do you see
I see a kid
Staring at me
Following dreams
I was once him
Late in my room
Searching for bliss
I'd go to school
They would just diss
All on my sneaks
Laugh at my fits
Had zero friends
Come to defend
Turn to a game
Soften the hits
I'd run to the net
Look for a model
I was tryna find a place for my solace
Maybe I could become just like my idols
This young kid grew up and finally realized
All of your heroes gon die away
One day look up and it's not the same
Just left with regret and myself to blame
For trusting a mortal who can't sustain
Just another human who will let me down
Man, I spent my whole life tryna leave the ground
Thought I could go take flight and reach the skies
One day I'll gaze in my idol eyes
Cause I need a hero
All these celebrities constantly letting me down
I need a hero
They speaking in lies and pretend that it's super profound
I need a hero
We running a race that will end six feet in the grave
I need a hero
In search of the One who won't leave all my loved ones depraved
I stepped in the game the whole culture switched
There's finally someone that cares for the fans
Not superficial
I take so much time out my day to go respond to all your DM's
Responsibility just comes with the platform
Not in a competition see who pack more
All the arenas and stadiums
Mean nothing if what we're saying ain't impactful
Huh, there's literal people starving for much more than I can give
Pent up questions, when you need to vent
Cause right now I feel like my flesh is spent
Cause they need a hero
I feel like I'm constantly letting everybody down
They need a hero
They searching for truth, but a hypocrite is what they found
They need a hero
I'm running my race that will end 6 feet in the grave
They need a hero
I'm not one who will satisfy the most depraved
Look, look, look
I finally found it
The One who will free me from storms when I'm drowning
The One who will shield me when enemies pounding
Lord, increase the depth of my faith to move mountains
Treat me like you did young Peter inside of that boat
Like Job, when you took everything that he owned
Cause it's no game, saying He's written the code
The Scriptures give me a new home
Jesus, I'm home
This world just a land that I roam
Till I'm seated right next to your throne
I'm never alone
You breathing fresh life in my bones
Christ is my new cornerstone
No need to be known
When the God of the world took my yoke
It wasn't a joke
We sat and just watched as our Savior got stoned
True heroes sacrifice it all for their own
You are my hero, Jesus
I give it all to you
And it don't matter if every single plan is falling through
You're my Lord
You're my King
You're my Shepherd
Give me the eyes
To see
Your blessings
Jesus
