A child called to me "Do you remember?" Ask me about life before disaster "When did it begin! When did it end?" I don't know but if I knew she'd know But I don't so I hold her close and tell her "Don't cry" [Chorus] I can't deal with this today I need a sign to give faith Give me strength Give me love Give me power to trust! Give me life! Give me a future today! Give me hope, fill my mind Give me all I want and more That's all I ever asked for Yesterday don't matter much today Is where were more in touch today She wants to know if everything's alright And I feel guilty about my lie Tell her not to worry and it's not time Listen to the sounds in my head She asks about my mother and my dad Talks about her friends and her cats [Chorus] Everybody wants to be somebody's hero It's not easy when life value is zero Hard living up to expectations If she know that I'm a hero Just someone who managed to survive How do you tell innocents the truth [Chorus]
