lyrics

Lee/ M. Yubro
Nacido Libre Music (ASCAP)/ Sadaic

He’s just a man/ And he’s speaking on the TV/ But that don’t make him right

He’s just a man/ And he speaks with proud conviction/ Like a moth to a light

Well, you can deify the king/ But he’s just a human being/ So stand for what’s right

Chorus: And we can all be our own heroes?

His motivation, is it money or the fame?/ Some external reward

Something to worship/ A reason to believe/ Is that all he affords?

Well, you justify the wrongs/ But you know it won’t be long/ And soon he’ll be gone

Chorus

A golden calf/ An image to adhere/ A symbol to achieve

Fallible nonetheless/ Just like you they’re flawed/ So in myself I believe

Chorus

Late Night Tales: Agnes Obel
by Agnes Obel

supported by 5 fans who also own “Heroes”

Willow led me here! Pilentze Pee via Mir Stanke Le. The opening quotes in the description about sounds and the voice as an instrument resonate strongly with me. My first intro to Agnes Obel and the Late Night Tales series, what a phenomenal idea! Love the mix of selections and original material, Bee Dance packs so much punch for its track length zephyr707
