Somebody told me today Let slip in a casual way Nobody seemed to care anycase I didn't realise, I turned away Somebody told me today And though my mind was miles away Slowly the pain welled inside As I realised he'd died Take no heroes, only inspiration And if you learn nothing from his life Learn this from his death The man may die but his dream survives I headed out, walked the town Staring sick & lonely Strange faces passed And they didn't know ... I wanted to tell them so but Oh the rain beat hard & cold A finer truth hit hard Took hold Take no heroes, only inspiration And if you learn nothing from his life Learn this one thing The man may die The man may die but his dream survives Take no heroes Take no heroes Take no heroes No way I could explain No one to explain it to anyway But a tearful misery's a sorry legacy And this is not the time for sad obituaries The rain beat hard and cold Learn this thing Take no heroes Take no heroes Take no heroes Take no heroes The man may die The man may die The man may die But he's dream survives Take no heroes
