Hero

by Kirk Franklin

The heavens were silent The earth weeped in pain Nations were trembling and hope never came A Terror filled the air And it wouldn't go away We needed a hero to come and save the day... Famine and hunger Disease in the land The hatred the killing taking lives from your hand Creation waits through the darkness we pray Tell me where is the hero to come and save the day... Through the nails Through the thorns From the hill to the grave Was a voice in the distance the lamb that was slain My soul had no song and my debt I couldn't pay When I needed a hero you came and you saved the day... To the homeless The widow The fatherless son To the sick and the broken alone with no one Lift up your head your hope is on the way When we needed a hero you came and you saved the day
