Melissa Etheridge - Heroes And Friends Lyrics

You can't take a trip, if you don't first say goodbye
You can't find a star, if you don't look up in the sky
You can't find a light, if you don't know where the dark ends
And you can't change the heroes and friends

You can't light a spark, if you don't first carry a flame
You can't take the weight of a single ounce of shame
You can't change the signal, just the message that it sends
The message of the heroes and friends

You can't touch the screen, you can take the place of love
You can disappear in ether when pushes come to shove
And you can walk the night into the dawn
And back again looking for the heroes and friends

You can ride the back roads of the hometowns of the world
You can collide on sidewalks in a neon light of blur
You can rush the stages and believe the words again
Looking for the heroes and friends

You can dedicate your life to breaking down the walls
To ringing the alarm, screaming down the halls
You can stand in judgment of the meaning in the air
Then we are all just heroes and friends

Oh oh oh oh ho
Oh oh oh oh ho
Oh oh oh oh ho
Oh oh oh oh ho

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh oh oh oh ho
Looking for the heroes and friends

Oh oh oh oh ho
Oh oh oh oh ho
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Why do we sacrifice our lives
To what is left when it all ends?
When all we want is heroes and friends
