Don't you like to see the hero take his licks like a man
Stand up and be tested and be true
Would you like to be a hero in your life
Well, you can, did you know it's up to you?

Would you trade your place with Jesus
On the cross if you could, shinin' through eternity
Would it bother you to know that you can be
Just as good as you really want to be.

If you're bound to do your duty then it's time that you do
Look your future in the face
For the most important person in the world which is you
Or the whole damn human race.

There's a holy band of angels
Flying high where no mortal ever trod
Singing holy, holy, holy, holy
Oh, Jesus Christ is the Lord Almighty God.

You see the good thing is you don't have to be
As good as Jesus to start out with
All you gotta do is ask yourself, how would Gary Cooper have done it
Or John Kennedy or Martin Luther King or Malcom X?

There's a holy band of angels
Flying high where no mortal ever trod
Singing holy, holy, holy, holy
Oh, Jesus Christ is the Lord Almighty God.

(Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, oh
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, oh...)
