[Verse 1]
I was born to live up to a name, but I don't even know your name no more
Every single lie that you told to my face shattered all the trust that I had before
Tell me what you want me to be, I guess I'll never make you proud
Stories that you made me believe, I'll be a better man than you could ever teach me how

[Chorus]
When all the cities crumble down
All of the people to their knees
When all the world needs a hero
What kind of hero will you be?
What kind of hero will you be?
What kind of hero will you be?

[Verse 2]
Only tried to live up to a name, the power that I wondered, would it ever come
Now I see inside, we were never the same, my destiny was set, now it's only begun
Tell me what you want me to be, I guess I'll never make you proud
A Guardian the world could believe, I'll be a better man than you could ever teach me how

[Chorus]
When all the cities crumble down
All of the people to their knees
When all the world needs a hero
What kind of hero will you be?
When all the voices scream out loud
Searching for light they couldn't see
When all the world needs a hero
What kind of hero will you be?
What kind of hero will you be?
What kind of hero will you be?
