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 the 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 It can take the place of love You can disappear in either When pushes come to shove You can't walk the night into the dawn And back again Looking for the Heroes and Friends You can't ride the back roads Of the hometowns of the world You can't collide on sidewalks In a neon lighted blur You can't 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't stand the judgment Of the meaning in the air That we are all just Heroes and Friends Looking for the Heroes and Friends
