A Hero by Kolawole6 from Nigeria

A HERO

VERSE1

Oh, looked at myself in the mirror
Oh, I felt so sad
Not because of how I looked
Oh, the pain I felt inside
Oh, dreams about greatness gave me pain

When it seemed, I was going down)2x

I beckoned on death
So she could console me
But death took no pity on my bed ridden flesh
Death laughed-oh, mocked me and went away
Though I was in pain
Yet I had no negative thought of you

When it seemed, I was going down

(How would you feel, if you were in my shoes
Would you be happy or would you feel the same
Many are dead-while many are still in pain
Please don't tell me the world do not need to change)2x

Am free from pain
Oh, am free from grief
Yes, I will stretch my wings and fly-oh, fly
Oh, when I fly
I will fly above the heavens of heavens
Oh, the heavens will bow
Am a star, am a shining light
Oh, wait, what life have I without you
What life have I without you

CHORUS

(A hero left the past behind
The present has signed my name
The future will bow)3X

VERSE2

Oh the lofty expressions I have brought about in my works
These are signs that you have always been here
Without you, what can I pride myself on
Where is my sepulchre
Where is my epitaph
Where is obelisk
Am hopeless without you
My sun may always rise, oh, set at the right time
My rain may never fail to fall
My river may always flow down town
My field may always be green with trees producing fruits
Oh, I will never relent in my quest for a just world
I pledge I will always be true to my words
I will always be true to my words

CHORUS

(A hero left the past behind
The present has signed my name
The future will bow) till fade
