Hero by Steve Taylor /w Lyrics

"Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments" (1 John 2:3).
Unofficial video by Steve Taylor fan. Video does not reflect personal judgements or insults on individuals featured but rather acknowledges that certain individuals thumbed their nose at Biblical standards while claiming to be leaders for people of Faith. The video is also not intended as a condemnation of anyone involved as there is always hope: "if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous" (1 John 2:1). The whole intention is to reiterate the point of the song which is to say: Christ is the only real hero.
Lyrics
When the house fell asleep there was always a light
And it fell from the page to the eyes of an American boy
In a storybook land I could dream what I read
When it went to my head I'd see
I wanna be a hero
I wanna be a hero
But the practical side said the question was still
When you grow up what will you be?
I wanna be a hero
I wanna be a hero
Hero
It's a nice-boy notion that the real world's gonna destroy
You know
It's a Marvel comicbook Saturday matinee fairytale, boy
Growing older you'll find that illusions are brought
And the idol you thought you'd be was just another zero
I wanna be a hero
Heroes died when the squealers bought 'em off
Died when the dealers got 'em off
Welcome to the "in it for the money as an idol" show
When they ain't as big as life
When they ditch their second wife
Where's the boy to go?
Gotta be a hero
Hero
It's a nice-boy notion that the real world's gonna destroy
You know
It's a Marvel comicbook Saturday matinee fairytale, boy
When the house fell asleep
From a book I was led to a light that I never knew
I wanna be your hero
I wanna be your hero
And he spoke to my heart from the moment I prayed
Here's a pattern I made for you
I wanna be your hero
I wanna be your hero
