What Does It Mean...
What does it mean ...to be a hero?
Does it mean anything?
When it comes down to it...
Being the hero's not all it's cracked up to be.
I should know. I've been one long enough.
When you see the person you care about most in the whole world, trapped...
-
...Frozen. Their face screaming out at you from a painting.
That look in their eyes, fear, anger and distress...
And you're their only hope.
But you're just as afraid as they are.
What do you do then?
Run? Fight?...
-
...Fly?
Take that death-defying plunge into the planetside?
All that awaits you there is certain doom.
But you've got to do it anyway.
Because you're the only one who can.
The only one who can save your planet...
-
...From the threat that it's facing from another world.
Impossible to defeat, when all around them has been.
Every time... they've come back.
Even when their world was destroyed...
-
But you're still there. You've got to hold on.
Though you see them all around,
Frozen statues with living hearts,
You hold on for that day when everything will be restored.
For the day peace will come again...
-
...When you've done all you can.
Fighting with your mind and spirit,
With the Earth itself...
When it might all be for nothing.
But you don't care, now.
You just keep moving on...
-
...Push that little further. Head for the finish line.
The race just an attempt to get away from the truth.
That when it's all over,
You'll be fighting against the darkness again.
Fighting because it's all you know how to do,
All you can do, before you...
-
...See it's too late.
All gone. All destroyed.
What was your home - isn't any more.
It's nothing.
Not to you, not to anyone.
And you're left...
-
...To finish this battle alone.
The only hero around.
The last person you'd expect. But now...
The right place.
The right time.
That's all a hero is.
