Kris Kristofferson - The Hero lyrics

Don't you like to see the hero take his licks like a man Stand up and be tested and be true ? Would you like to be a hero in your life ? well you can Did you know it's up to you ? Would you trade your place with jesus on the cross if you could Shining through eternity ? Would it bother you to know that you can be just as good As you really want to be ? And if you're bound to do your duty then it's time that you do Look your future in the face For the most important person in the world, which is you, Or the whole damn human race Chorus: There's a holy band of angels flying high through the night Where no mortal ever trod Singing holy, holy, holy, holy, oh, jesus christ Is the lord almighty god You see, the good thing is you don't have to be as good as jesus to Start out with All you gotta do ask yourself, how would gary cooper have done it Or john kennedy Or martin luther king Or malcom x ? Chorus: There's a holy band of angels flying high through the night Where no mortal ever trod Singing holy, holy, holy, holy, oh, jesus christ Is the lord almighty god
