Hero
Mr. Children
Hero
For example, if someone's life
Was exchanged for the right answer
I'm just a man waiting for someone to step forward
Many lovable people
Have turned me into a coward
As a child, I tried to imitate
The gestures and expressions I saw
I don't have grand feelings
Of becoming an idol
But I want to be a hero
Just for you
If you stumble or fall
I'll quietly reach out my hand
Easily sacrificing lives
To liven up a bad movie
What we want to see
Is a light full of hope
The slightly small hand
That holds mine
Smoothly melts the stagnation in my chest
To deeply savor life's full course
Many spices are prepared for everyone
Sometimes bitter
Or astringent thoughts may arise
And we'll laugh as we eat the final dessert
I want to be by your side
In the cruel passage of time
Surely, I've grown up enough
There's no sadness, no heartache
Just the joy
Of things repeating like this
And the happiness, the love
I want to be a hero forever
Just for you
There's nothing mysterious at all
No secrets left now
But I want to be a hero
Just for you
If you stumble or fall
I'll quietly reach out my hand
