Discovering Redemption: Embracing the Hero Within
Lyrics
You know that I hate to be wrong and I fake being strong sometimes
You acknowledge that I dislike being incorrect and sometimes pretend to be strong.
You know that I hate going off on the same old problems time after time
You acknowledge that I dislike repeatedly discussing the same old problems.
I always looked for a hero
I have always sought a hero.
Noble and fearless
Describing the ideal hero as noble and fearless.
Someone to "show me how Jesus loves"
Desire for someone to demonstrate how Jesus loves.
Always wanted an idol
Always desired an idol.
A shadow to hide in
Desiring a shadow to hide in, away from the fear of making mistakes.
Away from the fear of messing up
Expressing a desire to avoid the fear of messing up.
It's a bird, it's a plane, could it be
Raising the possibility of a hero's arrival with references to popular culture ("It's a bird, it's a plane").
The hero we all need
Posing the question of whether the hero is the one everyone needs.
The hero we all need
Reiteration of the need for a hero.
It's a bird, it's a plane, could it be
Repeating the anticipation of a hero's arrival with cultural references.
What no one else could be
Potential recognition of a unique and unconventional hero.
What no one else could be
Emphasizing the uniqueness of this potential hero.
The hero we all need
Reiteration of the hero being a universal necessity.
The hero we all need
Reaffirmation of the hero's universal importance.
I was surrounded by phantoms that laughed at my failure to stand
Feeling surrounded by mocking phantoms due to failure.
Until I was found by the champion that valiantly raised me with His righteous right hand
Being rescued by a champion who lifts with a righteous right hand.
I always looked for a hero
Continued search for a noble and fearless hero.
Noble and fearless
Emphasizing that Jesus's love surpasses all other heroes.
But nobody loves me like Jesus does
Highlighting the exceptional love received from Jesus.
He is greater than idols
Stating Jesus is greater than idols.
A refuge to hide in
Describing Jesus as a refuge and source of strength.
He is my strength and my cornerstone
Acknowledging Jesus as the cornerstone of strength.
It's a bird, it's a plane, could it be
Continuing the anticipation of a hero's arrival with cultural references.
The hero we all need
Reiteration of the question regarding the hero everyone needs.
The hero we all need
Reaffirmation of the universal need for a hero.
I called His name and He came and set me free
Calling upon Jesus and experiencing freedom as a result.
What can mortals do to me
Reflecting on the limited impact of mortal actions in the presence of Jesus.
What can mortals do to me
Reiteration of the minimal impact mortals can have in the face of divine support.
The hero we all need
Reaffirmation of the universal need for a hero, linking it to calling on Jesus.
I called His name and He came and set me free
Recalling the liberation experienced by calling on Jesus.
What other hero could I need
Emphasizing Jesus as the ultimate hero, questioning the need for any other hero.
