Poem: 209

Ordinary hero

Where can you be?

Oh ordinary hero

Why don’t you come to save me?

Could it be I’m waiting

In a room full of lies?

There’s fifteen pennies in a wishing well

But no one even tries

I’m waiting here still watching

And I’m always keeping faith

I might be alone

But your legend gives me strength

Oh ordinary hero

Don’t keep me waiting long

I don’t want to wait forever

But I will if I belong

You know I’m still staring

Into that midnight sky

And I’ll always be here hoping

Even if I’m hoping in a lie

Maybe no one else remembers you

But they haven’t got me forgetting yet          

So ordinary hero

Don’t you dare forget

I’m waiting for the moment

 When you’ll fly into my life

I’m hoping for that magic dust

To lift me up into the sky

Ordinary hero

Sometimes I do have doubts

There’s ordinary villains

And thick black walls of clouds

I’m counting on you for sunshine

And I’m casting all into my faith

God wouldn’t leave me here alone

Without one more to pray with

So ordinary hero

I’ll wait for you a thousand days

And if you never come to me

Then I’ll stay waiting here always
