Hero

You are a hero, you are a god;
The crowd is always with you
Waiting for your nod
The morning papers always
Have something to say
The stakes are very high
In the game you want to play
You touch the button
With your trembling hand;
The castles you are building
Are made of sand
You walk on water
You play with fire;
You’ll lose the game you’re playing
Unless the stakes go higher
You know exactly when
Things could go too far
But no one seems to wonder
Who you really are
You touch the button
With your trembling hand;
The castles you are building
Are made of sand
They’re made of sand
Records that you play
Go on without you;
Things are moving fast
What can you do?
Give the wheel another spin
In your tower
Make it look like things are still
In your power
You touch the button
With your trembling hand;
The castles you are building
Are made of sand
They’re made of sand
