New world, era that was left behind
Symbol of a foreign chapter
Flags burn, people that were lost in time
Are we supposed to know the answer
We're bleeding, no time to breathe in
We're way too deep in, to turn back time again
A feeling, they don't believe in
So many reasons we won't give in

Light em up, all the shadows that we know
Black and white, while the world's turning more gray
Rise above, for the shield that we throw
Stars and stripes, but the hero's inside me
But the hero's inside me
But the hero's inside me

I just want to be a hero
It don't matter if they see me as a zero
I just wanna be somebody that you could put your faith in
Not afraid, trouble comes when I face it
They put weight on my arm, I'm reluctant
But I know that this path what I'm stuck with
Push forward we don't need to discuss it
I'm tryna save the world from destruction
Black man on the rise
My vision in the sky
That's where I feel alive
Life been different through my eyes
Things ain't always black and white
If I have to pick a side
I always try to do what's right yeah
Never shy from a fight, nah nah, I

Light em up, all the shadows that we know
Black and white, while the world's turning more gray
Rise above, for the shield that we throw
Stars and stripes, but the hero's inside me
But the hero's inside me
But the hero's inside me

Are we supposed to know the answers
It's time to write our own new chapter

Light em up, all the shadows that we know
Black and white, while the world's turning more gray
Rise above, for the shield that we throw
Stars and stripes, but the hero's inside me
But the hero's inside me
But the hero's inside me
