Stephen Sondheim - A Hero Is Coming lyrics

You smug little men with your smug little schemes You forgot one thing: The rest of the world isn't all like you There are heroes in the world Princes and heroes in the world And one of them will save us Wait and see A hero is coming! You won't know him by his white charger But he'll be the kind of knight that we need A hero is coming No you won't hear any band playing But he's gonna take a stand and succeed Never fear He'll be here in time Heroes don't appear 'Til the nick of time Who are they? Let them plot and plan Let them have their day And their way While they can 'Cause a hero is coming Coming quietly with no trumpets But he'll be here any moment So fly, boys, fly! You won't know him by his bright armor But there'll be a funny light in his eye, boys Stars won't burst Mountains will not crash Thunder won't come first And no lightning will flash Oh, maybe an aura One tiny glow Maybe the faintest thrums But a hero is coming That much I know And, we're not gonna do a thing 'Til he comes!
