i'm sure they don't know they're meaning to me,
though we didn't always agree.
they tried to form me, years they have spent,
with love and affection, more than well meant.
my parents did all in their ability,
though errors and faults they're now heroes to me.

would i really be what i am - as far as i've come without them?

heroes, no one would guess it.
heroes, no public attention.
heroes, i wanna thank you
for a livelong impression,
thank you for being there.


from childhood to present, all the time,
have been special persons, some friends of mine.
we talked about heaven, about destiny,
that changed and improved my biography.
whenever i struggle, stumble or cry,
they're giving me hope, new wings to fly.
would i really be what i am - as far as i've come without them?

heroes, no one would guess it.
heroes, no public attention.
heroes, i wanna thank you
for a livelong impression,
thank you for being here.


i wonder myself from time to time,
if someone would model his life on mine.
could i be that person, could i be the one?
will some of my people say: well done?
don't wanna be mentioned and tapped on the shoulder,
just act in the background a little more bolder.

i'd like to pass on the good things i've got,
'cause we all need heroes, so help me god.
