Michael Traveler: Hero

“Hero”

Little by Little ...
I'm finding out the truth behind your lies.
Little by Little ...
I'm finding out the secret in your eyes.
The fog clears a little each day.
Another sign revealed along the way.
One more mirror is broken.
One more illusion is gone.
And little by little,
I'm finding out the truth behind your lies.
Little by Little ...
I'm finding out what a twisted web you weave.
Little by Little ...
I'm finding out how cleverly you deceive.
Each step convinces me too.
Another clue discovered in plain view.
The Power to stand on my own.
The Power I had all along.
And little by little,
I'm finding out the truth behind your lies.
You had me so long ago.
I thought I was nothing without you.
I was yours to control,
a puppet on your string,
dancing your tune.
But now I finally see
the Strength there is in me.
Yes, little by little,
I'm finding out the truth you left untold.
I'm finding out how much you have deceived.
I'm finding out the hero that lives in me.
