Don’t Wait For Heroes Lyrics By Dennis Deyoung

    i’ve got my dreams
    i know you think that’s crazy
    but i won’t give up
    ’cause i’ve got this burning desire in me
    oh baby it’s me

    while the world sleeps
    i sit up all night thinking
    and making my plans
    ’cause there’s something special ahead for me
    something ahead for me

    so don’t you tell me that i’m wasting my time ruining my life
    and that the odds against me are a milliontoone don’t be concerned
    i’ll take the heat for all the chances i’m gonna take
    mistakes that i’ll make
    wait and see
    you’re gonna hear from me

    so don’t wait for heroes do it yourself
    you’ve got the power
    winners are losers
    who got up and gave it just one more try
    one more try… one more try

    if you’re waiting for that miracle train to call out your name
    and if you think the rainbow always finds someone else never yourself
    just look inside and find that spark that’s burning in you
    follow it through
    the light you find
    well it could change your life

    so don’t wait for heroes
    think for yourself
    make your own choices
    you know it’s easy
    to follow the crowd
    but my advice is
    don’t wait for heroes
    believe in yourself
    you’ve got the power
    winners are losers
    who got up and gave it just one more try
