You’re Still our Hero

(Intro – distant wind, soft piano notes)

We see you…

Even when you disappear…

(Verse 1 – quiet, fragile)

You used to walk beside us,

A light we couldn’t miss,

A voice that never gave up,

A hand we’d always trust.

Now shadows take your outline,

Your smile’s nowhere to be found,

You carry all the weight alone…

While we’re still standing here, bound.

(Verse 2 – voices layering softly)

Your footsteps echo empty

Down streets we used to share,

You fight a war in silence

But won’t let us be there.

You say it’s for our safety,

You say we’ll be okay…

But every step you take away

Just pulls our hearts astray.

(Pre-Chorus – soft choir rises)

We hear the storm inside your chest,

The way you push, the way you rest—

Never…

You never rest…

(Chorus – ambient swell, emotional)

You’re still our hero… can’t you see?

You don’t have to bleed alone to be free,

We’re calling out through the dark you made,

But you keep running further away.

You saved us once… now let us try,

To stand beside you, not just watch you cry,

You don’t have to carry it all tonight…

We’re still your light.

(Verse 3 – slightly stronger, but still soft)

We remember every promise,

Every word you swore was true,

That we would stand together—

Now we’re reaching out to you.

Your power’s growing heavier,

Your eyes are fading fast,

You’re losing who you are to save

A future that won’t last…

(Pre-Chorus – more urgency)

We see the cracks you try to hide,

The storm, the fear you keep inside,

You’re breaking…

You’re breaking down…

(Chorus – fuller choir, still restrained)

You’re still our hero… don’t forget,

The boy who smiled through every threat,

The one who lifted all of us—

Why won’t you lean on us?

You’re not alone… you never were,

Even if your voice begins to blur,

We’ll chase you through the endless night…

To bring you back to light.

(Bridge – stripped down, almost whispered)

We’d walk through fire…

We’d face your pain…

We’d stand in darkness…

Call out your name…

Midoriya…

Come home…

(Ambient Break – soft rain, distant heartbeat, faint echoes of voices overlapping: “We’re here… we’re here…”)

(Final Chorus – emotional peak, choir swelling like hope)

You’re still our hero… hear us now,

We won’t let go, we won’t back down,

If you fall into the dark below—

We’ll be the ones who pull you home.

You gave us strength… you gave us light,

Now let us be your reason to fight,

You don’t have to face this world alone…

Please… come home.

(Outro – fading piano, quiet wind)

Even if you run…

Even if you hide…

We’ll always be…

Right by your side.
