Conway Twitty - Everybody Needs a Hero

We´ve all dreamed together of being kids forever
hanging on to all the people that we love like:
Monroe and JFK, hoping they'll come back someday,
Elvis, John and Jimmy, too, what´s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa !
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive,
to keep yourself alive.

We made believe that we could be on TV,
a secret fantasy that we were Mr James Dean,
Then Alan Freed called it Rock n´Roll and started it all,
The Beatles, Who, Kiss and Crue,
what´s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa !
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
to keep yourself alive.

Refrain

We´re all living in, a world of AIDS and sin,
we´re taken one by one in vain from what we all have done,
Turn on the TV set, Theres murder, rape, i do regret.
don´t despair, we care
trust in me I´ll set you free.

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa !
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
to keep yourself alive.
