"Heroes" lyrics - MURRAY MCLAUCHLAN

Heroes don't think that their heroes
And get all swelled up in their chests
They're just quietly workin'
They don't give up tryin'
They're happy just to give it their best
They don't think that they're anything special
They don't think that they're better than you
They're proud to give the glory
To all of the people
That helped them to do what they do

Heroes don't think that they're heroes
Just lucky
In the right place
When the numbers were called
Funny, how people who walk so tall
Don't think that they're heroes at all

Heroes amaze all the people
Doing things that nobody can do
But time is a bandit that steals away glory
And people find somebody new
But that shouldn't bother somebody
Whose stuff is all totatlly right
It's the job that you've done
Not the glory you've won
That let's you sleep soundly at night

Heroes don't think that they're heroes
Just lucky
In the right place
When the numbers were called
Funny, how people who walk so tall
Don't think that they're heroes at all
