Forgotten Hero

© 2016 Mark Cote

He saved the world before you were born
touched the souls of so many more
but the times have changed it's not the same
what's wrong is right It's such a shame

plastic Gods and virtual worlds
behind a whisper it's never heard
what brings us close keeps us apart
do we really know where we are?

(chorus) He's just a forgotten hero
                  forgotten hero
                  what you see isn't how it should be
                  He's just a forgotten hero
                  forgotten hero

boil a frog a bit at a time
he'll never know everything's not fine
and so too are we
in our blind simplicity

(chorus)
(instrumental)

we need to open our eyes and see again
find our way or is this the end

(chorus)
