Lyrics
Kanji= JUST ANOTHER HERO CAN’T YOU HEAR CRIES FOR HELP JUST A HERO

落ちこぼれで弱虫で 自分の弱さに嫌気がさしてたんだ 力を求めれば求めるほど 怯え壊れていく体 それでもそんな時こそ強くならなきゃいけないんだ 自分を痛めつけ続ける意味なんて簡単なことだ 悲嘆に囚われる犠牲者のために ありふれたヒーローだとしても 俺が立ち上がるんだ

自信をもって陰と向き合い 情熱をかける これが俺の個性だ！ 諦めたりしない振り返らない あんな醜い唸り声を聞きのか せるものかあちこちに助けを呼び泣き叫ぶ声 そこここに傷を重ねる全てのヒーローたちへの希望 俺こそが宿命の継承者

まぐれなんかじゃない 無関心でなんかいられないあちこちに助けを呼び泣き叫ぶ声 そこここに世界のために戦う全てのヒーローたちへの希望 どう生きてどう夢見るのか？ 弱音を吐きたくなる時だってあるんだ 自分を抑えなきゃならなくてもなかなか難しいんだ まだまだ完璧とは言えないだろ どう悲しんでどう叫ぶ？

ただあの人のようになりたいんだ やり過ぎなことも多いけど休んでる暇はないから きっといつか言ってやるんだ俺が来た！って JUST ANOTHER HERO CAN’T YOU HEAR CRIES FOR HELP? Romaji= JUST ANOTHER HERO CAN'T YOU HEAR CRIES FOR HELP!

English= Just another hero Can’t you hear cries for help? Just a hero... I was a dropout and coward Sick and tired of my weakness More I buck for the power More I'm broken, more l'm frightened But that's the time I must be strong Why damage myself again and again Is simply for the victims of sorrow I'll be the MAN even if I'm just another hero

Just another hero

Don't hide myself in regret Face my own silhouette I'm the most passionate It's my identity! I'm never gonna give up Never gonna look back Can't ignore such an ugly roar There are many cries for help There are hopes for all the heroes whose calls will be heard I am the heir of the cup If it should come a-knock Can't stand back or just stay away There are many cries for help There are hopes for all the heroes who fight for our world

How do I live? How do I dream? Sometimes wanna sing the blues Must tighten my reins, but hard to obey You know, I'm not perfect enough How do I grieve? How do I scream? I just wanna be that guy Yes, I'm still overwhelmed but no time to rest And I will say, “Here I come!" Just another hero Can’t you hear cries for help?

Just a hero...
