Select language to translate this lyric
My mother always told me when I'd look up to the sky
I would see the ancient heroes written in the stars at night
Oh the older I did grow and deeper meanings I did find
These heroes walked beside me, everyday a sacrifice
To give in a time of desperation
To fight for the future of mankind
Oh no it's not easy
But I'll try to see beyond myself
Oh why is it such a challenge?
Oh I'll try, yes I'll try to do this world right
Cause I wanna be a modern day hero
Oh I have always wondered how somebody got so brave
How they'd suffer for another, they would do whatever it takes
Oh they've seen their share of hell
and their life's the price they pay
They'd do it all over again for their reasons never change
To give when you're stronger than another
To fight when you realize you can
Oh no it's not easy
But I'll try to see beyond myself
Oh why is it such a challenge?
Oh I'll try, yes I'll try to do this world right
Cause I wanna, I wanna be
A modern day hero
Oh no it's not easy
But I'll try to see beyond myself
Oh why is it such a challenge?
Oh I'll try, yes I'll try to do this world right
I wanna be a modern day hero
Oh a modern day hero
Oh a modern day hero!
