Lyrics:
Day by day, we have lost our edge
Don't you know? Forgotten is the life we led
Now it seems, you don't care what the risk
The peaceful times they have made us blind
Can't look back, they will not come back
Can't be afraid, it's time after time
So once again, I'm hiding in my room
The peaceful times they have made us blind

Now you can't fly if you never try
You told me, oh, long ago
You left the wall, outside the gate
So more than ever it's real

It was like a nightmare, it's painful for me
'cause nobody wants to die too fast
Rememberin' the days of grief, now it's strange for me
I could see your face, I could hear your voice
Rememberin' the day we met, it's painful for me
'cause nobody wants to die too fast
Rememberin' the days we dreamt, it's painful for me
I could see your face, I could hear your voice

A song for reluctant heroes
Oh give me your strength, our life is so short
A song for reluctant heroes
I wanna be brave like you
From my heart
A song for reluctant heroes
Oh give me your strength, our life is so short
A song for reluctant heroes
I wanna be brave like you

Can't look back, they will not come back
Can't be afraid, it's time after time
So once again, I'm hiding in my room
The peaceful times they have made us blind

So you can't fly if you never try
You told me, oh, long ago
You left the wall, outside the gate
So more than ever it's real

It was like a nightmare, it's painful for me
'cause nobody wants to die too fast
Rememberin' the days of grief, now it's strange for me
I could see your face, I could hear your voice
Rememberin' the day we met, it's painful for me
'cause nobody wants to die too fast
Rememberin' the days we dreamt, it's painful for me
I could see your face, I could hear your voice
