Tell me a story said the young boy
As he sat on his father's knee
A tale of legends and battles
Where the dragon still flies free

So the father said, "Once upon a time"
And the words began to flow
And magic, weaving it's special web
As the candles burned down low
But that was long ago and that was far awayTell me, where are the heroes ?

Why is the world a place without courage and loyalty ?
Tell me....

So the father whispered a prayer
As he watched his son fall asleep
That the wisdom held in the legend
To his child he could teach
But that was long ago and that was far away

Tell me, where are the heroes ?
Why is the world a place without courage and loyalty ?
Where is the spirit that drives the human heart ?
So much we have gained, too much we have lost

Now that boy has a son of his own
Who sometimes sits on his knee
So when life gets a little crazy
The legend can help them to see

Tell me, where are the heroes ?
Why is the world a place without honour and dignity ?
Where is the spirit that drives the human heart ?
So much we have gained, too much we have lost
