An American Hero

An American Hero - Dion/Carlene Carter

Lyrics by：Dion DiMucci/Mike Aquilina

We saw the lights

Go down across the land

We were waiting

For someone to take a stand

And there was no one there to hear the call

No one listening to us at all

Hey now you know we need an american hero

Right now we're searching for an american hero

Who will stand up tall for everyone

I grew up in a little town just off the grid

We didn't have a dime to spend but no one did

We watched the world from far away

It was growing darker every day-yay

Hey now you know we need an american hero

Right now we're searching for an american hero

Who will stand up tall for everyone everyone

We weren't big enough to change the scenes

That was for people in those magazines

But what if no one stood to play the part

But what if no one had a heroes' heart

Hey now you know we need an american hero

Right now we're searching for an american hero

Who will stand up tall for everyone

Everyone everyone

Why are waiting from afar

Let's be the heroes that we are

Maybe we'll change the world

We'll never see

Unless we try to change it you and me

It's time to stand up here and dare for more

Become the hero we've been waiting for

Hey now you know we need an american hero

Right now we're searching for an american hero

Who will stand up tall for everyone

Everyone everyone

Who will stand up tall for everyone

Hear me now

An american hero
