Oh, we learned of Abraham
Who was ready to give his son
And Noah who kept on
'Til his job was done
Moses led his children
Safely through the wilderness
These men are gone, we're here to carry on
But tell me why are we in such a mess
Where are the heroes now
When we need them so desperately
Who will step out from the crowd
And be strong enough to lead
Who will teach the children
Who will show them how
Oh, I'm asking you
Where are the heroes now
There are those we don't know their names
Who were faithful for their Lord
They were beaten and they were chained
And put to d**h by the sword
The world was not worthy of them
Is it worthy of me and you
Oh, we say we'll endure until the end
I pray to God that it's true
Where are the heroes now
When we need them so desperately
Who will step out from the crowd
And be strong enough to lead
Who will teach the children
Who will show them how
Oh, I'm asking you
Where are the heroes now
We're surrounded by witnesses
As they watch us run our race
With our eyes on the Author of our faith
God is not ignorant
Of the affairs of men and his ways
Oh, He's put us here to make a stand
He's calling on us today
He's calling us to be heroes now
When we need them so desperately
Will you step out from the crowd
And be strong enough to lead
Will you teach the children
Will you show them how
'Cause they're asking you
Where are the heroes now
Step up from the crowd
Step up from the crowd
Tell me, where are the heroes now
