The Hero Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

Don't you like to see the hero take his licks like a man 

Stand up and be tested and be true ? 

Would you like to be a hero in your life ? well you can 

Did you know it's up to you ? 

Would you trade your place with jesus on the cross if you could 

Shining through eternity ? 

Would it bother you to know that you can be just as good 

As you really want to be ? 

And if you're bound to do your duty then it's time that you do 

Look your future in the face 

For the most important person in the world, which is you, 

Or the whole damn human race

Chorus: 

There's a holy band of angels flying high through the night 

Where no mortal ever trod 

Singing holy, holy, holy, holy, oh, jesus christ 

Is the lord almighty god 

You see, the good thing is you don't have to be as good as jesus to 

Start out with 

All you gotta do ask yourself, how would gary cooper have done it 

Or john kennedy 

Or martin luther king 

Or malcom x ?
