We Need Heroes Our Youth Are Afraid
We need heroes
(Our youth are afraid)

We need heroes
We need them every day
We need them to live
Not die as we pray
Our youth are afraid
And it's understandable
We are not being leaders
We are not being brave
Those in power are short sighted
They're looking at getting richer
Making decisions from their egos
Not considering anyone's future
We need heroes
We need them in every sphere
Across the world we inhabit
Across cultures and belief systems
For true heroes are prepared to sacrifice
They give everything for the greater good
They put themselves on the line
To save people and livelihoods
We need to raise the bar
We need to do what's right
Make the tough decisions
To save future lives
