He knows a hero when he sees one. Too few characters out there, flying
around like that, saving old girls like me. And Lord knows, kids like
Henry need a hero. Courageous, self-sacrificing people. Setting
examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for
them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how
they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who
taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in
all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and
finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to
be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. |
