Ooh
'Cause the world still needs
'Cause the world still needs a hero
Ooh

In the wake of a tidal wave
I remember your final days now, now, now
Spiraling out, out, out like a spider's web

But the world's still spinning here
Like your heart never disappeared round, round, round
I'm struggling to be found on my own again

And now, they need me, they say
To help before more hearts break
Step up and rescue them, save the day
But is it too much to prove, a fight I'm destined to lose
I wonder, am I made of nothing or nothing but iron like you?

Ooh
'Cause the world still needs a hero
But you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
Ooh
Yeah, when the world still needs a hero
Can I be the one, the one?
Can I be the one?

There's no replacing you
And I won't attempt to do that, that, that
But I'm gonna have their backs like you did for me, yeah

And I'm gonna carry you
With me to get me through everything
'Cause memories of you I keep
Lift me up when I am weak, because the world

Ooh
'Cause the world still needs a hero
But you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
Ooh
Yeah, when the world still needs a hero
Can I be the one, the one?
Can I be the one?

Whenever I am close or if I'm far from home
When they call, I'll be there
Ooh, ooh, ooh
When they call, I'll be there, because the world

Ooh
'Cause the world still needs a hero
But you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
Ooh
Yeah, when the world still needs a hero
I will be the one, the one
I will be the one?
