HERO
words & music: JP Den Tex
“Roaming the streets of San Francisco during the final days of his journey, our romantic traveler learns a quintessential truth about himself: deep down inside there’s always been this fundamental loneliness. But willing to accept it for the 1st time in his life he suddenly feels relieved. And much more in tune with his inner soul…”
I took a stroll to the Wharf today
All by myself
Saw how this junk snatched a bag
The lady shouted for help
I called the cops on my cell
Told them they’d better be fast
I didn’t stay on the scene
I paid my dues in the past
I just continued my walk
Time wouldn’t fool me again
That’s how the hero gets home
Become a different man
As I got close to the Wharf
Here was this pleasant surprise
I ran into Jeanne d’Anvers
The girl with the faraway eyes
She said I knew you’d be here
We share the same cheap hotel
Told me she’d always be true
(She’s quite a story as well…)
That’s how the hero gets home
That’s where this story must end
Once you’re in tune with yourself
You are in tune with the band
Once you’re in tune with yourself
You are in tune with the band
