lyrics

And who is the legend? Who is the hero?
Well I always knew it was you.
Who was scared of nothing? Who stood for something?
Yes I always knew it was you.

And he began….
“This is my struggle will you step inside.
Learn from my mistakes in this intense life.
In a Bermuda triangle of pain, self blame.
Never able to go out, try to dodge the rain.
A happy man takes walk, you stumble.
When we mean to shout a protest we always mumble.
Shouting down our views to the corner of rooms.
Sweep away our problems using drugs as brooms.
Push them under carpet, so scared to come clean.
Scared of sharing fears, scared to live our dreams.”
He said : “It’s really so easy to live in denial.
Never push yourself and avoid all the trials
of life, doesn’t work that way, no way.
Biting your tongues say what you wanna say.
Express what you mean to, it’s something to cling to.
Honesty’s the policy but it’s hard to be straight to
yourself, temptation and self depravation
of your soul and body is a disease through nations.”
He said “It’s making you lazy, think of your baby.
Change the out of date laws driving you crazy.
That’s evolution the only reason we came here.
Learn to embrace my love and kill all your fears.”
He said : “I’ve got to reassure you even if you knew
Let your soul shine through ‘cos it was always in you”

And who is the legend? Who is the hero?
Yes I always knew it was you.
Who was scared of nothing? Who stood for something?
I always knew it was in you.

Who had the bravery? Who had the dignity?
Well I always knew it was you.
And who saved me from breakdown? A nuclear meltdown?
I always knew the legend was you
And He continued…
“There ain’t no religion, they always cause wars.
And wealth is the worlds but we keep behind doors.
We’re all here to share and savour the flavours
And fall in love, care for and yes even save her.
This is your home she won’t be here for ever.
Leaving this place a future goal of mankind’s splendour.
Stop wasting on weapons and useless possessions
and gambling on future’s and learn some lessons.”
He said : “There is no enemy, war is suicide.
Propaganda causes hate, hate leads to genocide.
You fight the hate you can see, and some you can’t.
Leaves you open to pain and it drains your heart.
We can get over, yes, we can really get over.
Fight ourselves like maniacs when there is only soldiers
or warriors, pumped up for a brainwashed mission.
Wars over money and imagined religions
and stolen homelands, boundaries never existed.
We don’t conquer, just divide, but we embrace this.
It’s not the violence of the few that’s bothering me,
it’s the inaction of the rest that always rocks me
to the core….. We’ve got so much to fight for.
If I open up your love will you shut the door?”
He said : “you’re all so selfish, it’s taught through the media.
Re-learn your truth, experiences free ya.
It’s time to ignite the fire that runs deep in you.
And you can do whatever that you want to do”

And who is the legend? Who is the hero?
Yes I always knew it was you.
Who was scared of nothing? Who stood for something?
I always knew it was in you.

Who had the bravery? Who had the dignity?
Well I always knew it was you.
And who saved me from breakdown? A nuclear meltdown?
I always knew the legend was you

And who had the passion? Who didn’t follow fashion?
Uniqueness was always with you?
And who fought the cancer? Who gave me the chance to
show you that it’s always in you.


And then he began to cry as he whispered :
“Don’t look for false Gods, the legend is you.
Maybe one day you will find your own truth.
We all need each other but so busy forget.
Replacing society with comfort zone heads.
Real life is a struggle, you either respect this,
if you let it slip away then you will regret this.
life is just a ride we could make it together,
everyone trying their best in little ways to get better.
And that’s the only solution on this ball of confusion.
We love and we’ll live - your fear is an illusion.”
He said : “There is no messiah, your pain I can’t cure.
If I could, I would, but you can open all doors.
Grab every minute don’t let anyone stop you.
Drink in all the glory, let pure music rock you,
art inspire you, great stories consume you.
trust in kindred spirits and they will help free you.
And that is the answer and that is MY truth.
You were always the legend, the hero is you.”

And who is the legend? Who is the hero?
Yes I always knew it was you.
Who was scared of nothing? Who stood for something?
I always knew it was in you.

Who had the bravery? Who had the dignity?
Well I always knew it was you.
And who saved me from breakdown? A nuclear meltdown?
I always knew the legend was you

And who had the passion? Who didn’t follow fashion?
Uniqueness was always with you?
And who fought the cancer? Who gave me the chance to
show you that it’s always in you.

Who helped slay my demons? Made me able to free them?
Did you ever think it’d be you?
You were never a zero, the ultimate hero,
I know now the legend was you.

This is for Tom for helping me find my soul. “5 years” made me cry in that pure cleansing way. I hope you win all your fights my friend. Thank you… Dave
