Send in the Hero
Unlikely Heroes: Bravery in the Face of Danger
Lyrics
He's just a regular guy who likes to lay low
Describing an ordinary, unassuming person who prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
Yeah He never bothered no body or hit a bad note
He's non-confrontational and hasn't caused trouble or made mistakes.
Never had a girl in his life, he's flying solo
He's never been in a romantic relationship; he's independent.
Never had a fight in his life, he's safe at home
He's never engaged in physical altercations, preferring safety.
But one day he got up and ran into a psycho
Encountered a dangerous person unexpectedly.
Knife in the hand holding a girl against a sign post
Describing a threatening situation where a person is holding a girl captive with a knife.
How could this soul be all alone and body shaking
Emphasizing the emotional distress and fear of the situation.
Got to be brave, you know she needs saving
Recognizing the need for bravery to rescue the girl.
How do we stop this?
Expressing a sense of urgency in finding a solution to the situation.
Send in the hero
Calling for a hero or someone capable of protecting the girl in danger.
Send in the protector of her, oh
-Send in the hero
-Send in the protector of her, oh
-She's a stranger but she needs someone to help her
Highlighting the girl's unfamiliarity but dire need for assistance.
Look in her eyes, open wide, screaming danger
Her frightened expression signals imminent peril.
This is the time to be more than a fly on the wall
Urging action rather than passivity in this critical moment.
The time to be more like a hero
Encouraging a heroic response to the situation.
You're scared that he can put you in a chokehold
Fear of the potential danger posed by the aggressor.
And get away, leave you both on the floor
The threat of physical harm and the possibility of escaping.
But if don't do a thing, then you know
Highlighting the consequence of inaction.
He'll do it again to another
Warning that the aggressor might harm others if not stopped.
How do we stop this?
Reiterating the need for a solution to prevent further harm.
Send in the hero
Repeated call for a hero or protector for the girl in distress.
Send in the protector of her, oh
-Send in the hero
-Send in the protector of her, oh
-How do we stop this?
Emphasizing the urgency of finding a solution.
Send in the hero
Continued plea for someone to step in and protect the girl.
Send in the protector of her, oh
-Send in the hero
-Send in the protector of her, oh
-We can all be heroes
Empowering everyone to be heroes and exhibit bravery.
We can all be brave
-Send in the hero
Repeated call for a hero to intervene.
How do we...
Questioning how to address the situation and reiterating the call for a hero.
Send in the hero
