Lyrics

Ten years old,
In a Volkswagen bus,
A song comes on,
The Whole World Stops,
Finding a hero,
When your life felt lost,
You swear no one
understands where you are,
Until you're surrounded by CD towers,
Loving them more than girls love flowers
Mesmerized by plain white rappers,
And guitars being turned up louder

I was a lost boy
Living under a mask,
swear that my heart
Was always under Attack
needed someone to save me,
From going crazy.
I was a lost boy

I was a lost boy
I was a lost boy

That kid with the Walkman on,
Cranked up with a hip hop song
Fat lip from a fight gone wrong but
it went so quick but felt so long
All I had was a two bit dream
Two tapes and a burnt CD
That night when the Lord met me
It all changed when I felt your peace
Crying out can you still save me
Finding out that my chains came free
Finding out that your face I seek
I receive I got all the grace I need
I'm changed and I'm just made clean
Your spirit is the air I breathe
And it felt right there my me
I was a lost boy but its you I see

I was a lost boy
Living under a mask,
Swear that my heart
Was always under Attack
Needed someone to save me,
From going crazy
I was a lost boy

I was a lost boy
Living under a mask,
Swear that my heart
Was always under Attack
Needed someone to save me,
From going crazy
I was a lost boy

Everybody needs a hero
Everybody needs a friend
Cause we're all broken
Everybody needs a hero
Everybody needs a friend
Everybody needs someone who can count on them

I was a lost boy
Living under a mask,
Swear that my heart
Was always under Attack
Needed someone to save me,
From going crazy
I was a lost boy

30 years old
In my minivan,
Bumping old songs
for my children
Hoping they find
the hero within
Just like when
I was a kid
