Heroes
Embracing Folly: Discovering Redemption in Our Imperfection
Lyrics
this squeaky clean appearance
This outwardly flawless image
i've been working on
I've been diligently cultivating
is often in the way
Often obstructs
of the truth and life that i'm portraying
The truth and life I'm trying to convey
this narrow road i'm walking
The path I'm treading
is rising up to meet me
Is actively presenting challenges
meet me right square in the face
Confronting me directly
i'm praying
I'm praying
Lord guide us to see
Lord, lead us to understand
the key to our redemption
The crucial factor in our redemption
is knowing our humanity
Is recognizing our humanity
there are no heroes
No individuals are heroes
there are no great ones here
No great ones exist here
we're only fools
We are only fools
who know that we are fools
Who are aware of our foolishness
the ancient art of making
The age-old skill of convincing
you believe that i am
You that I am
half as good as i wish i was
Half as virtuous as I aspire to be
Lord guide us to see
Lord, guide us to realize
the key to our redemption
The key to our redemption
is knowing our humanity
Is understanding our shared humanity
there are no heroes
No heroes exist
there are no great ones here
No great ones are found here
we're only fools
We are only fools
who know that we are fools
Who acknowledge our foolishness
there are no saints here
No saints reside here
there are no guiltless ones
No blameless individuals are present
we're only those
We are only people
who know that we've been rescued
Who recognize that we've been saved
(yea) rescued (yea)
(Yeah) Saved (Yeah)
there are no heroes
No heroes exist
there are no great ones here
No great ones are found here
we're only fools
We are only fools
who know that we are fools
Who acknowledge our foolishness
there are no saints here
No saints reside here
there are no guiltless ones
No blameless individuals are present
we're only those
We are only people
who know that we've been rescued
Who recognize that we've been saved
