When the night is dark
And the outside, so cold
(Heroes on fire)
I'm a child
I knew about a world so true
(She pulled down the stars)

I needed a hero
If I only knew that the hero was me
(That the hero was you, was you)
Fear pulls me down
Reckless and hot
It tells me I’m nothing, when I know that I'm not

Standing alone in my fire
You're not alone
Future's hanging on a wire
Just take my hand
Standing alone in my fire
You’re not alone
Heroes on fire

When the sky is Earth
And your world falls apart
Hope's what you carry in your heart
I was a child
I knew, now I have no clue
You know more than you know
I wanna run through these streets
From these feelings forever
But no-one can make it alone
One day I'll admit
Alone's not enough
'Cause strong is much more than just trying to be tough

Standing alone in my fire
You're not alone
Future's hanging on a wire (come on!)
Just take my hand (take it! Literally! Come on, take it!)
Standing alone in my fire
You're not alone
Heroes on fire
Heroes on fire

(You and me, baby!)
