Melissa Etheridge - Heroes And Friends lyrics

You can't take a trip If you don't first say goodbye You can't find a star If you don't look up in the sky You can't find a light If you don't know where the dark ends And you can't change the heroes and friends You can't light a spark If you don't first carry a flame You can't take the weight Of a single ounce of shame You can't change the signal Just the message that it sends The message of the heroes and friends You can't touch the screen You can take the place of love You can disappear in ether When pushes come to shove And you can walk the night Into the dawn And back again Looking for the heroes and friends You can ride the back roads Of the hometowns of the world You can collide on sidewalks In a neon light of blur You can rush the stages And believe the words again Looking for the heroes and friends You can dedicate your life To breaking down the walls To ringing the alarm Screaming down the halls You can stand in judgment Of the meaning in the air Then we are all just heroes and friends Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Looking for the heroes and friends Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Why do we sacrifice our lives? To what is left when it all ends When all we want is heroes and friends
