Was I the only one to notice
 
 That human nature doesn't work that way
 
 They tell me if I look deep inside me
 
 That I can find my own way
 
  
  I only find a rebel and a fool there
 
 Who won't admit that he's afraid
 
 I thought I was holdin' on to freedom
 
 But locked my soul up in chains
  
 
 I need a hero
 
 Who'll dare to find me
 
 Fly to my rescue
 
 And crash through the wall
 
 Announce my freedom
 
 Bring me to my senses
 
 Gather me into his strong arms
 
 And carry me off. . . to safety
  
 
 What is this talk about a Savior
 
 Well does he listen, is he even there?
 
 And should I be asking him directly?
 
 But why should he consider my prayer?
  
 
 Well, I don't quite know how to do this
 
 But Jesus, I can't save myself
 
 So here I go calling out for mercy
 
 And crying out for your help
 
 (So if you hear me. . .)
  
 
 I need a hero
 
 Please dare to find me
 
 Fly to my rescue
 
 And crash through the wall
 
 Announce my freedom
 
 Bring me to my senses
 
 Gather me into your strong arms
 
 And carry me off
