[Verse 1] Don't tell the gods I left a mess I can't undo what has been done Let's run for cover What if I'm the only hero left You better fire off your gun, once and forever? He said go dry your eyes and live your life like there is no tomorrow, son And tell the others to go sing it like a hummingbird The greatest anthem ever heard [Chorus] We are the heroes of our time But we're dancing with the demons in our minds We are the heroes of our time Hero-oh-o-o-oes. o-uh-o-o-oh But we're dancing with the demons in our minds Hero-uh-o-o-o O-oh-o-o-oh We are the heroes of our time Hero-oh-o-o-oes, o-uh-o-o-oh But we're dancing with the demons in our minds Hero-oh-o-o-oes, o-uh-o-o-oh [Verse 2] The crickets sing a song for you Don't say a word, don't make a sound It's life's creation I make worms turn into butterflies Wake up and turn this world around In appreciation He said I never left your side When you were lost I followed right behind Was your foundation Now go sing it like a hummingbird The greatest anthem ever heard (Now sing together) [Chorus] We are the heroes of our time Hero-uh-o-o-oes, o-uh-o-o-oh But we're dancing with the demons in our minds Hero-oh-o-o-oes, o-uh-o-o-oh (We keep dancing with the demons) (You could be a hero) [Bridge] Now go sing it like a hummingbird The greatest anthem ever heard Now sing together [Chorus] We are the heroes of our time (Hero-oh-o-o-oes, o-uh-o-o-oh) But we're dancing with the demons in our minds (Hero-oh-o-o-oes, o-uh-o-o-oh) We are the heroes of our time (We keep dancing with the demons) (You could be a hero) Hero-oh-o-o-oes, o-uh-o-o-oh But we're dancing with the demons in our minds (We keep dancing with the demons) (You could be a hero) Hero-oh-o-o-oes, o-uh-o-o-oh [Outro] We are the heroes
