The fearless giant faced a brave young shepherd boy
He said, "Your God is dead and your nation soon destroyed"
But the son of Jesse proved what God can do in the heart of a hero
Three men refused to bow to the idol made of gold
They knew they could burn for not doing what they're told
They'd rather face the fire than to kneel to a God made by hands
It takes the heart of a hero
(Heart of a hero)
To stand for what's right
It takes the heart of a hero
(Heart of a hero)
To lay down your life, oh
There are idols to be worshiped and giants in the land
They'll drag you down, attack your faith and slay you if they can
So let your heart be filled with courage and strength of the Lord
It takes the heart of a hero
(Heart of a hero)
To stand for what's right
The heart of a hero
(Heart of a hero)
To lay down your life
Lay down, hey
Stand for what's right, oh
Have the faith of a child and the power of God
And when you call on His name
He will give you the heart of a hero
Will you stand for what's right?
Would you lay down your life?
Do you have the heart? Oh
It takes the heart of a hero
(Heart of a hero)
To stand for what's right
It takes the heart of a hero
(Heart of a hero)
To lay down your life, oh
It takes the heart of a hero
(Heart of a hero)
To stand for what's right
It takes the heart of a hero
(The heart of a hero)
To lay down your life
The heart of a hero
Takes the heart of a hero
