Engelbert Humperdinck - A Chance to Be a Hero lyrics

When I was young at heart, I never had much money But I never let faith depart, I kept it right beside me When I was only seventeen, I knew just what I wanted to be On the stage, on the front page with the spotlight shining The spotlight shining on me Take a chance to be a hero, a chance to play in this game A chance to be somebody who you're gonna recognize my name A chance to be a hero, a shot at the big time A chance to be somebody new, a chance to be a hero Funny, how time can fly right through you fingers When the parade pa**es by, you know it's too late then When your lifelong fantasy floats underneath the door Down the stairs, out on the street, it won't be coming back It won't be coming back anymore Take a chance to be a hero, a chance to play in this game A chance to be somebody who you're gonna recognize my name A chance to be a hero, a shot at the big time A chance to be somebody new, a chance to be a hero When your lifelong fantasy floats underneath the door Down the stairs, out on the street, it won't be coming back It won't be coming back anymore Take a chance to be a hero, a chance to play in this game A chance to be somebody who you're gonna recognize my name A chance to be a hero, a shot at the big time A chance to be somebody new, I only wanna be Only wanna be, I wanna be a hero
