lyrics

Verse 1:
I was 12 years old when I decided to rock the nation //
I was sick of school, I was tired of indoctrination //
I needed somewhere to hide so I locked the basement //
and grabbed the microphone with a smile as I blocked the hatred //
from those who doubted me 'cause I could do without it, see //
I knew what I wanted to do, 'cause music is allowing me //
to be free now as I look out over the crowd I see //
these kids reminding me that dreams are never out of reach //
so I'll keep conquering from north, west, south to east //
'cause nowadays I've got more than one mouth to feed //
(you see) I went from gravel and pebbles to mountain peaks //
so look at me now mom and dad, aren't you/I bet you're proud of me?... //

Chorus:
Once again - here I go //
walking down that same old road //
I've been high, I've been low //
I've been lost but now I know //
it's my life - it's my pain //
I've seen sunshine, I've seen rain //
through the storm - look at me //
and you will see some kind of hero... //
Some kind of hero... //
Some kind of hero... //
Some kind of hero... //

Verse 2:
Watch me turn a simple song into a masterpiece //
right in front of everyone who's ever laughed at me //
stepped all over my dreams and had me doubting myself //
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/jaewon-lyrics/some-kind-of-hero-lyrics.html ]
'cause the first time they did I made a vow to myself //
to never set my dreams aside for anything //
that I wasn't going to hide, just write, but many things //
came in my direction that I couldn't quite understand //
couldn't comprehend, that's why I became a running man //
staying up late nights trying to cure my stagefright //
barely seeing daylight, living an insane life //
it was obvious that I was running out of fuel //
but I didn't give a damn that I was flunking out of school //
this dream was all that I had and I would die before I'd let 'em take it //
man, you must be blind if you can't see my dedication //
it's so much more than just ink on a paper //
so my spirit will live on through the tunes I've created... //

Verse 3:
Yeah, I admit it, there were times I was sick and tired //
they thought I was gone but this dragon's still spitting fire //
so focused, while these other cats sat back //
I just kept marching with the swagger of a badass //
I'm doing things that these legends have never done //
and you know the funny thing is; I'm only 21 //
but they keep denying there's a legend in the makings //
waiting for me to abdicate when this is just my coronation... //
