Tired Hero

What happens when a hero walks away.

Gets burnt out from saving the day.

Just walks off into the sunset without a word to say.

Tired of saving a world that doesn't want to be saved.

If he chose to hang up his cape.

Put away the mask. 

Blend in with the rest.

With no longer a symbol on his chest.

Who then would step up to be the best.

If the hero decided he no longer wanted to fly.

Would you still look up to the sky?

Would the concept of a hero die?

People would signal and he would not come.

The crowd would shout help.

Still he would not come.

His heart is tired and worn down.

He cannot wear a fake smile, only half of a frown.

For the hero ultimately is teaching a lesson to you.

A lesson that is tired and very true. 

When the going gets tough, the tough get through.

And the person who will ultimately save the world is you.
