Текст песни Hero - Ian A. Anderson

Once you were a fine sailor
And you sailed across the sea
But once you were a fine sailor
And you had something that appealed to me
But now they've dried up your ocean
And there's rust on your shining steel
But now your new dawn has broken
But your new morning just ain't real

When I, when I was just a young man
And I was only halfway up my tree
When I, when I was just a young man
Yours were the choices that I made
But now your last string has broken
And there's rust on your shining steel
But now your new dawn has broken
But your new morning just ain't real

I'm sure that you thought most highly
Of the change that came about
I'm sure that you thought most highly
But life today causes me to doubt
But now your past has been spoken
And there's rust on your shining steel
But now your new dawn has broken
But your new morning just ain't
But your new morning, morning just ain't real
