For every toy soldier I put to war when I was just a boy
I had no idea where I was going, I was built for more
I saw a man on TV, he had lost:

Some limbs, his younger brother, and his heart

'Cause we need a leader

Someone to be a hero

I'm tired of fakers, actors, and bankers

They're everywhere I go
They're drawing our lifelines, making decisions
But never have to know

And everyone's got reasons why they're wrong
In the end we'll end up fine and for their cause


'Cause we need a leader
Someone to be a hero


And we fight the fire
With a bigger, brighter lighter
All that we need is everyone we know

Everyone we know

How did we get so far?

And how did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?
And how're we getting back home?

How did we get so far?
And how did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?

And how're we getting back home?
How did we get so far?
And how did we get so lost?

How did we get so far?
And how do we get back home?
Back home, back home...


'Cause we need a leader
Someone to be a hero


And we fight the fire
With a bigger, brighter lighter

All that we need is everyone we know
Is everyone we know


'Cause we need a leader
Someone to be a hero...
