Was I the only one to notice

That human nature doesn't work that way

They tell me if I look deep inside me

That I can find my own way

I only find a rebel and a fool there

Who won't admit that he's afraid

I thought I was holdin' on to freedom

But locked my soul up in chains



I need a hero

Who'll dare to find me

Fly to my rescue

And crash through the wall

Announce my freedom

Bring me to my senses

Gather me into his strong arms

And carry me off. . . to safety



What is this talk about a Savior

Well does he listen, is he even there?

And should I be asking him directly?

But why should he consider my prayer?

Well, I don't quite know how to do this

But Jesus, I can't save myself

So here I go calling out for mercy

And crying out for your help

(So if you hear me. . .)



I need a hero

Please dare to find me

Fly to my rescue

And crash through the wall

Announce my freedom

Bring me to my senses

Gather me into your strong arms

And carry me off
