I can see you waiting there on the corner of my street
Wondering when the winds will change wondering when's your time
I can see you waiting there for the tides to turn
Hoping you will catch a break while your candles burn
Be your own hero, don't you wait for Superman
You gotta be the one, to take matters in your hand
You gotta be the hero, the one we all rely on
Your life ahead awaits cause no one else will come
You got to make a change you gotta take control
You got to realize no one's coming home
I see you standing there on the corner of my street
Waiting for a sign to show for God to say a word
I see you standing here waiting for your time
You're waiting for your life to happen for someone to come your way
Be your own hero don't you wait for Superman
You gotta be the one to take matters in your hand
You gotta be the hero the one we all rely on
Your life ahead awaits cause no one else will come
You got to make a change you gotta take control
You got to realize, no one's coming home
Man you know I fought a war and I was less afraid
We had food we had friends, and I was getting paid
Man you know I need a break just to catch my breath
Can't pay the bills can't find a home and I lost my head
My friends won't answer, my brother's dead I barely can survive
I hear your words every single day and I just want to die
Be your own hero, don't you wait for Superman
You gotta be the one to take matters in your hand
You gotta be the hero the one we all rely on
Your life ahead awaits cause no one else will come
You got to make a change you gotta take control
You got to realize no one's coming home
No one's coming home
