Hero Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
We're fallin' off the edge today
I am just a man
Not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
It's just another war
Just another family torn
We're falling from my faith today
Just a step on the edge
Just another day in the world we live
[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger, Both]
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
[Verse 2: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speakin' my mind today
My voice will be heard today
I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger, Both]
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time
[Bridge: John Cooper & Jen Ledger, John Cooper, Jen Ledger]
Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives, and we're not ready to die
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero (I've got a hero) livin' in me
I've gotta fight for what's right, today I'm speakin' my mind
And if it kills me tonight, I will be ready to die
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time
[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger, Both]
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
[Outro: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero, I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time
Awake and Alive Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
[Chorus: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger, Jen Ledger]
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want, 'cause this is my life
Here (Right here), right now (Right now)
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
[Verse 2: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I'm at war with the world, 'cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what, I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again
[Chorus: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger, Jen Ledger]
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want, 'cause this is my life
Here (Right here), right now (Right now)
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
[Bridge: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
In the dark, I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms, I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever, I will live for you
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger, Jen Ledger]
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want, 'cause this is my life
Here (Right here), right now (Right now)
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Forgiven Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Forgive me now cause I
Have been unfaithful
Don't ask me why, 'cause I don't know
So many times I've tried
But was unable
This heart belongs to you alone
[Chorus]
Now I'm in our secret place
Alone in your embrace
Where all my wrongs have been erased
You have forgiven
All the promises and lies
All the times I compromised
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven
[Verse 2]
Forgive me, I'm ashamed
I've loved another
I can't explain, 'cause I don't know
No one can take your place
And there is no other
Forever yours and yours alone
[Chorus]
Now I'm in our secret place
Alone in your embrace
Where all my wrongs have been erased
You have forgiven
All the promises and lies
All the times I compromised
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven
[Post-Chorus]
Ho-woah-woah
Ho-woah-woah
Ho-woah-woah
Ho-woah yeah, yeah!
[Bridge]
I get down on my knees
Feel your love wash over me
There will never be another
You're the only one forever
And you know
I'm yours alone
I'm in our secret place
Alone in your embrace
[Chorus]
Where all my wrongs have been erased
You have forgiven
All the promises and lies
All the times I compromised
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven
Ho-woah-woah
Ho-woah-woah
Ho-woah-woah
You have forgiven
[Outro]
Forgiven... (Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven...)
Never Surrender Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you know what it's like when
You're scared to see yourself?
Do you know what it's like when
You wish you were someone else
Who didn't need your help to get by?
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender?
[Chorus]
I don't want to feel like this tomorrow
I don't want to live like this today
Make me feel better!
I want to feel better!
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
[Post-Chorus]
(Never surrender)
[Verse 2]
Do you know what it's like when
You're not who you wanna be?
Do you know what it's like to
Be your own worst enemy
Who sees the things in me I can't hide?
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender?
[Chorus]
I don't want to feel like this tomorrow
I don't want to live like this today
Make me feel better!
I want to feel better!
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
[Bridge]
Make me feel better
You make me feel better
You make me feel better
Put me back together!
[Chorus]
I don't want to feel like this tomorrow
I don't want to live like this today
Make me feel better!
I need to feel better!
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
[Outro]
Put me back together!
Never surrender
Make me feel better!
You make me feel better!
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
