Nobody's Hero

I knew he was different in his sexuality

I went to his parties as a straight minority

It never seemed a threat to my masculinity

He only introduced me to a wider reality

As the years went by

We drifted apart

When I heard that he was gone

I felt a shadow 'cross my heart

But he's nobody's hero

Saves a drowning child

Cures a wasting disease

Hero, lands the crippled airplane

Solves great mysteries

Hero, not the handsome actor

Who plays a hero's role

Hero, not the glamor girl

Who'd love to sell her soul

If anybody's buying

Nobody's hero

I didn't know the girl but I knew her family

All their lives were shattered

In a nightmare of brutality

They try to carry on, try to bear the agony

Try to hold some faith in the goodness of humanity

As the years went by we drifted apart

When I heard that she was gone

I felt a shadow 'cross my heart

But she's nobody's hero

Is the voice of reason

Against the howling mob

Hero is the pride of purpose

In the unrewarding job

Hero, not the champion player

Who plays the perfect game

Hero, not the glamor boy

Who loves to sell his name

Everybody's buying

Nobody's hero

As the years went by

We drifted apart

When I heard that you were gone

I felt a shadow cross my heart

But he's nobody's hero

Saves a drowning child

Cures a wasting disease

Hero, lands the crippled airplane

Solves great mysteries

Hero, not the handsome actor

Who plays a hero's role

Hero, not the glamor girl

Who'd love to sell her soul

If anybody's buying

Nobody's hero

Hero
