Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song for an indie movie when I was 26. The movie flopped but the song stuck with me through the decades. I updated the lyrics as I still feel them today. Everyone wants to be someone's hero but feels they don't measure up.

Song Description

The song is a captivating acoustic guitar track, featuring soulful female vocals and honest lyrics. It is about a journey of self-acceptance and self-love, as the singer faces her past and her fears. There is a contrast between how she portrays herself on social media and how she feels inside, and how she wants to overcome her insecurities and be a hero for herself. The song is a relatable and heartfelt message to anyone who has ever felt unworthy or inadequate, and who wants to find their inner strength and confidence.

Lyrics

I walk down this lonely road
Begging for advice
Trying to understand
The pieces of my life
Living a masquerade
I live my life on the run
I've only myself to blame
For the woman I have become
And as I travel on
I find myself looking back
Searching my memories
I've many questions to ask

On social media
I dress myself like a hero
But look at the life I've led
Before you place that crown on my head
Look at what I say
'Cause I don't feel like a hero
Why can't I believe
What others say they see in me

I'm lost with a restless heart
Been drifting for so long
Trying to find my way
Oh where do I belong?
Running from yesterday
That's all there seems to be
The faster I run away
The closer I get to me
Heading back home again
I know there's no turning back
A loving face waits for me
With many questions to ask

On social media
I dress myself like a hero
But look at the life I've led
Before you place that crown on my head
Look at what I say
'Cause I don't feel like a hero
Why can't I believe
What others say they see in me

[Guitar Solo]

Hero, hero, hero, I wanna be a hero
Hero, hero, hero, I wanna be a hero
Hero, hero, hero, I wanna be a hero
