Story Behind The Song
This song is about how children are heroes, because of the fact they are sacrificing their own lives to save other, because of gun violence in schools. Children should be enjoying life, learning, and having fun with their friends. This should not be the way that they die.

Lyrics
Hero
Verse:
It's the same thing every morning
He throws his backpack over his shoulder
Tells his parents goodbye
I'll see you later, in a while, in a while
Get's to school, says hi to his friends
The school bell rings and he runs to class
Opens his book, excited about new things
In one second, shots ring out, shots ring out
One split decision and every dream he has is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Chorus:
This is not how heroes should be made
We could have made the right choices
We could have lifted our voices
Allowed a child to see another day
This is not this is not how heroes should be made
This is not, this not how heroes should be made
This is not
Verse:
He wanted to be just like his father
Ready to lend a helping hand
To every child, woman, and man
But his life was cut short, so short, so short
Children are crying, parents are screaming
He gave his life so that others may live
In a blink of an eye he becomes the hero
And just for one moment the world is filled with sorrow
Now, we go back as if nothing happened at all, as if nothing happened at all, as if nothing happened at all
Chorus:
This is not how heroes should be made
We could have made the right choices
We could have lifted our voices
Allowed a child to see another day
This is not, this is not how heroes should be made
This is not, this not how heroes should be made
This is not
Bridge:
Nothing's changed, nothing's changed
Another senseless goodbye
The question is always why, why, why, why
He's finally laid to rest with all the rest
Remembered as the one who gave his best, his best, his best, his best
Chorus:
This is not how heroes should be made
We could have made the right choices
We could have lifted our voices
Allowed a child to see another day
This is not, this is not how heroes should be made
This is not, this not how heroes should be made
This is not
