Hero of the Day
A reflective ballad from *Load*, 1996
Mama, they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Chorus
Did you hear the distant cry?
Calling home from somewhere?
Calling home
Verse 2
So on the airwaves echo the sound of the one who fell from grace
There's a soul in the air tonight, the one who fell from grace
Did you see the distant light?
Calling home from somewhere?
Calling home
Chorus
Did you hear the distant cry?
Calling home from somewhere?
Calling home
Did you see the distant light?
Calling home from somewhere?
Calling home
Outro
Keepers of the flames, do you feel your name?
Did you hear the distant cry?
